Description

### Describe the bug

Deselected Tile is still in Properties view.

### Steps to reproduce

- Have Properties and Tilesets view enabled next to a loaded map.
- Select a Tile in Tilset view and see its Properties. Keep it selected.
- On the Map, click on a Tile in ObjectLayer. See the changed Properties.
- Deselect the Object in the Map.
- The Properties are still shown, although the Object is deselected.

### Expected behavior

The Properties view should get "emptied" whenever Object / Tile gets deselected (both in Map and Tileset).

What do you think?

### OS version

Windows 11

### Tiled version

Version 2026.07.17 Portable Version

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with the Properties and Tilesets views beside a loaded map, following the listed selection and deselection steps. Trace the editor's selection and deselection handling for map objects and tiles; done means the Properties view is emptied whenever either is deselected.
