fix(tui,coding-agent): clear fullscreen selection on transcript rebuild (#10567)

Selection coordinates survived session switches and other transcript rebuilds, highlighting unrelated text in the new transcript. Reset selection and multi-click state before re-rendering session entries.

Based on #9310.
