This very old issue is still here in D8.8.5.
There is a long D7 conversation about this issue, but since there is no D8 issue (or I couldn't find it) I decided to create one... as hope for resolve in D7 is fading.
To reproduce inside clean D8 installation:
- Create few articles and basic pages.
- Inside core Content view edit "Content type" filter.
- Select Article content type only and choose "Limit list to selected items".
- Visit
/admin/content. Exposed filter contains only Article content types which is proper, but all content is returned in the view results list including basic pages.
Screenshot attached.
The behavior can be reproduced with any other exposed filter as well. Trying to limit Vocabulary exposed filter to certain Terms for example.
TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Adding another - not exposed content type filter - with Article content type selected only (which removes Basic Pages from view results list) is popular workaround all these years.
However, 11 years passed since this views issue is reported, and D9 is just around the corner... it would be nice to gift ourselves the fix. :)
