Rule filtering is TOO sticky
None
I pulled up my Rules List today, and was confused about why it was empty. It turns out that I had filtered yesterday on the names of the Rules, and that filter was [i]still there. I love that, while I'm actively working, I can leave and come back to the Rules page and the filtering would stick around. However, when my brain has completely left that workflow, and I come back to the Rules List, I expect the filtering to be blank. I think the same thing goes for the new advanced filtering in Rules List. Can there be some sort of expiration?
For what it's worth, I [i]don't feel the same way about the "Active"/"Inactive" checkboxes. Can't explain why. But I generally do not want to see Inactive rules, so I like being able to leave that unchecked.

Kinda like how some password entry fields will visually remind you that you have Caps Lock on. Because it's impossible to know what is the right time to disable Caps Lock for each user who has set it.
For me, the sticky filters are most valuable when I'm moving back and forth between screens in the same tab - like while I'm in a rule, I need to go to the Permissions - Rules Load Actions screen, then click "Back" and it takes me to the main Rules List. Sticky filters are very helpful in that scenario.
But if I've closed a tab or a browser in which I was working in the rules engine, typically I have finished my task. IMO the stickiness could be wiped out then and I'd be good.
I think that was my deal with getting back to the rules list state, I was never sure which button was going to take me back to the rules list, or which button was going to take me to the filtered list.
I may be doing something wrong - but when I click on 'Reset' for the filter, it doesn't wipe away the text field.
You need to click on "Reset" and then "Apply" to view the entire Rules list.
