I am having the same difficulty. Before the update, when I selected the all list and filtered on context of @office, I would only see a list of tasks that were in that context. Now, after the enhancement, when I select 'all' and filter on @office I see the parent task or project. I then have to select that to see the actual @office task.
This is extremely frustrating. If I filter on a context, I should only see a list of that context, regardless of which project it belongs too. That's the idea of working in context. While I really like your support of subtasks, if your filter only shows the parent task, what good is it?
