Description Bill Nottingham 2011-05-27 20:50:21 UTC 
If, for whatever reason, I have five things in my message tray that have popped up at one time or another, it would be nice to have a simple option to dismiss them all, rather than having to dismiss each one in turn.

I also would like this functionality
Comment 2 Marina Zhurakhinskaya 2011-06-02 20:03:24 UTC 
One idea would be to have a menu with "Remove All" show up when the user clicks/right-clicks on the area of the tray that doesn't have any items.

One thing that I found helpful if I need to remove multiple items is to do so in the Overview. That way the tray doesn't slide away after each removal.
