Steps to reproduce:

When clicking on the "mark as completed" checkbox of a monthly (or weekly, or daily etc.) recurring task, the title is displayed as strike-through and italicised text to indicate that this task on that day has been completed. At the same time a new task with the date of the next month (or week, or day) is created in the task list.
This is the correct behaviour.

Actual results:

When clicking on the strike through task and then hit the delete button to delete it, a dialog box appears asking to delete only this one single completed event of the recurring task or the whole recurring task (the whole series, all the future events as well).

However, when selecting multiple completed tasks and then deleting them, this dialog box does not appear. Instead, the whole series of the tasks are deleted without asking.

This leads to data loss, which happened to me just yesterday.

Expected results:

When selecting multiple completed tasks of recurring events, the dialog box asking to delete only this one single completed event of the recurring tasks or the whole recurring tasks (the whole series, all the future events as well) should appear, too. Just like it does when selecting only a single task.
