The Action filter was set to "Active". I now see how the Action filter should define what items are able to be selected.
However, there's apparently a different bug that threw me off. I was expecting the Advanced Filter to mimic the Filter Controls. The help file says for the Active filter "3) Start Date parameter for the task is not set or Start Date is today or in the past". However, if Start Date From: is set to "Today + 1" and Hide Undated checked, only future tasks will appear. According to the definition of the "Active" Action filter, these should not be showing. The same thing happens if To: is set in the future to something like "Today + 30" What's particularly interesting here, is that if From: and To: are left blank, no future items appear. It is only when future dates are entered that these future items show up. One would expect that the blanks would give the complete set, and entering dates would limit the items displayed, not show more. So, unless I'm missing something again, there's a bug in the way the Filter Controls work, or at least a bug in the help file which could read "3) Start Date parameter for the task is not set or Start Date is today or in the past, unless a specific future Start Date parameter is entered". (But then the Advanced Filter should work the same way and there would be the Advanced Filter bug originally reported).
