Bug Description

Let's imagine there is a MAAS deployment with 10 machines, and we want to deploy (or power-on, or whatever else) 9 of them. Before 3.2, the following UI usage scenario used to exist:

1. Click on the checkbox next to "Deployed" group tab (1st click)
2. Un-check manually the node you don't want to touch (2nd click)
3. "Take action" → "...." → "...." (3rd, 4th, 5th clicks)

Total: 5 clicks to perform an action

Since 3.2, it's impossible because once the 1st checkbox (which selects the whole group) is checked, all node-specific checkboxes are non-clickable - hence the above scenario now renders in 9+1+3=13 clicks instead of 5.

Could this be considered as UX regression?

This is a bug, if you select all of it in a group, you should be able to unselect it. The Parent group checkbox will be in "partially selected" state.

Likely this is coming out of the paginated list.

Check if

- groups can include elements that are not displayed on the current page
- it is possible to "unselect" elements within a group

Lets first check if we need anything else from the backend to make this possible
