Clear leftover Project item selection when making a new bin.

New Bin only selected the folder and started rename, so Clear still targeted clips that were selected before. The trash button and Delete then removed those items and left the bin. Clicking a bin already deselects items; creating one now does the same, and Clear drops the rename field so it does not keep editing a bin that is about to go.
