Thanks again for the report, @thoka, and your patience while we were looking into this.

We’ll be fixing this up so that the quick search will show the messages icon in in:all searches, but not when the in:messages filter is added — in that case, it would be redundant to show the messages icon.

Hm. I would prefer that filtered lists look exactly the same as not filtered lists, but that’s a minor problem.

For example: if you filter for an author of messages, you would not omit to show the author in the list, despite of being redundant.
