Keyword List Hierarchy issue

LR Classic v. 12.4
The Library Filter Keyword setting is set to "Hierarchy." View > Keyword > Hierarchy
I use keyword hierarchies extensively in my historical extended families photos project. See examples in attachments 1 and 2.
If I do a Keyword filter search in the Keyword List for "California," for example, I get the result shown in attachment 3.

With the triangle pointing down for California as shown in the attachment, it used to show not only California, but also the hierarchy of the place names subordinate to it. As you can see in attachment 3, it does not.

If I now click on the count for California ( 34 images with only California in the keywords of the images), it correctly displays in the grid, not only images for just California, but also the full hierarchy of its subordinates.

When editing (organizing) the keyword hierarchy, it was much more convenient when it showed the full hierarchy of places subordinate to California (in this example) in the Keyword list query result. What happened? Is there another setting that needs to be set? Or is that a functional change (bug) in a revision of the program somewhere along the path of program updates?

 

I had upgraded from LR 6 to LR Classic several years ago.

    I don't know which of your screenshots is number 3, but assuming it is the one that shows only Places and California - you have reduced down the overall list, to display only such keywords (and their parent structure) as match the text you have entered into the box at the top of the Keywords List panel. Once you clear that box you will see California again in the context of the full hierarchical list.  

     

    In other words: this box does a Filter action - not a Find (Scroll To) action.

    ...that said, in the drop-down menu for the keyword search box is an option you can select called "show all keywords inside matches". When unchecked, a keyword needs to contain the search text in order to display. When checked, it needs to contain the search text and/or to have a parent keyword which contains the search text.
