  when at any moment, the selection chosen is invalid causing the
  ?Run? button in the lower right corner of the selection wizard
  to become greyed out.
  
  For example in a VM History Report, opening the drop down list,
  unselecting ?All? VMs and closing the drop down list without
  selecting any other VM.
  
  From that moment, the above message is thrown behind the wizard
  window and will be seen in all cases :
  1. After closing the wizard with the 'Cancel' button
  2. After closing the wizard with the 'Run' button after having
     made valid selections.
     In this case the report is successful but the pop-up message
     is displayed in the GUI.
  
  Making an invalid selection without opening a drop down list;
  for example clicking on a cross icon within the selection field;
  will display that field as no selection is done but not grey out
  the ?Run? button.
  In that case, there will be no pop-up message and running the
  report will be executed with the default selections.
