P: Enable/Disable Library Filters not working properly

I am running LR 3.4.1 on OS X 10.6.8. The Library>Enable Filters command does not work properly when I have a Library Filter set up to filter on more than on criterion.

For example, I have a Library Filter preset called "Needs Location Keywords" that selects all images for which don't have "Location" as one of their keywords and which are not flagged as Rejected. In other words, there are two filter criteria applied:

1) TEXT: Keywords "Don't Contain" "Location"
2) ATTRIBUTE: Flag = Flagged OR Flag = Unflagged

Toggling the Filter State by choosing Library>Enable Filters works as desired when the Filter State is changed to OFF; all images in the selected folder are displayed. However, when Library>Enable Filters is selected a second time, changing the Filter State back to ON, only one of the original filter criteria is applied, namely:

1) TEXT: Keywords "Don't Contain" "Location"

However, ATTRIBUTE Filtering is NOT re-enabled as one would expect.

This is repeatable with different filter settings and different folders.

    Well that didn't last long. After being fixed in 2015.9, this is now broken again as of 2015.10.1. 😞

    Oh my goodness, it’s fixed!

    I’d given up hope! Thank you so much. 🙂

    Hi Kevin/Michael,

    Could you try Lightroom 6.9/ CC 2015.9?

    Thanks,

    I still see this bug, too. So much for it being written up in the bug database. It makes you wonder how many other unsolved bugs are on that list.

    5 years later, still seeing this bug in Lightroom 2015.6. It’s a shame; toggling library filters on and off would be a really handy feature if it worked.

    I found this board and post because I don't understand why "no filers" and "all filers off" aren't the exact same thing.

    This forum system is relatively new (to us) and I've been keeping a list of capabilities I'd like to see added. I just added "ability to easily track threads needing a follow up reply" to the list. So with luck, the answer won't be "no" forever.

    Thanks,
    Ben

    "Try it again and see? :-)"

    I thought you might say that. I just wondered if there was a way for users to see the status of documented bugs. Your reply lets me know that the answer is "no". Thanks for clarifying.

    Try it again and see? 🙂 If I'm really on the ball, I'll post back to this thread to confirm that it's been fixed, but there's not an easy way for me to track threads that need replies, so I wouldn't rely on that. Dot releases (i.e., 3.3, 3.4, etc.) are accompanied by release notes that describe most of the bugs that have been fixed in that release, although typically full releases (2.0, 3.0, etc.) only include descriptions of new features.
