If a user has something written in the box of Quick Filter for the Active Panel and goes to

Tools > Settings

then that filtering expression simply disappears. The same does not happen for expression present in the Inactive Panel


So this is a case of bug that needs to be fixed and / or inconsistent behavior that should be adjusted by adding a check-box option of

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Quick filter > Keep filter on entering "Settings" - for Active Panel

and

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Quick filter > Keep filter on entering "Settings" - for In



This happens in versions 880 32-bit Installed and 887 64-bit Donor Portable on Windows 10 Enterprise 20H2 x64

Confirmed in 887.

In version 892 this no longer happens - but the filter itself becomes disabled


This happens no matter what configuration user chooses at

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Keep filter on folder change

and

Tools > Settings > Quick search/filter/starter > Quick search/Quick filter > Keep filter on tab change


And this does not happen in case of Plain View mode, i.e. it stays turned on after entering Settings

This has been fixed, the Quick Filter is steady
