[rt-users] 'Show Results' link / Query Builder occasionally not working properly

[Stuart Browne]

Hi,

Running RT 3.8.8 / DBIx::SearchBuilder 1.56, and have noticed some strange behaviour with the 'Show Results' link and the Query Builder.

>From the 'At A Glance' page, I generally click on 'xx highest priority tickets I own' to bring up the search result, then click 'Edit Search' and add 'Priority > -2' to show only positive value priority tickets.  Thus far, all is fine (and I understand I can just alter the saved search, but that's not what I want).

>From there, I use the list, going into and out of tickets, sometimes navigating into Configuration or other areas, then click back on 'Tickets' and 'Show Results'.  For whatever reason, the search is modified to be 'Priority > 2'.

Steps to reproduce, and what is shown on the screen:

	1. Log In
	2. Click on 'xx highest priority tickets I own'
	3. Click on 'Edit Search'
	4. Use dropdown boxes to add 'Priority' 'greater than' '-2', clicked 'Add these items' (or '... and Search')
		- At this point, the query is as follows:
			Owner = '__CurrentUser__' AND (  Status = 'new' OR Status = 'open'
				OR Status = 'validating' OR Status = 'WaitExt' ) AND
				Queue != 'Holding' AND Priority > '-2'
	5. Click on any other left-hand menu item
	6. Click on 'Tickets'
		- Query shown is correct with the '-2' Priority
	7. Click on 'Show Results'

At this point, the query has changed to:

	Owner = '__CurrentUser__' AND (  Status = 'new' OR Status = 'open'
		OR Status = 'validating' OR Status = 'WaitExt' ) AND
		Queue != 'Holding' AND Priority > 2

If at step 4, you press 'Add these items' 3 times, it also removes the negative.

I'm not good enough at the internals of the query builder to know why the state of this field changes 'magically', but it didn't happen in prior versions.

Has anybody else seen this, or can they reproduce the issue? ;)
