Description

Previously, done tasks appeared at the bottom of the task list. Now, when an item is marked as done, it's like it never existed. The filter says it automatically filters out done tasks even with all filters cleared, but I haven't been able to override this behavior by setting a custom filter for done = true or done = all.

The tasks are still visible in all other views, but I'd like to make them appear in the list view as well.

Not sure if this is due to a recent update or what, because I had issues with my vikunja instance that I was only able to resolve by reinstalling it completely on a different machine using a different installation method (rpm vs zip). Luckily it recognized my DB and files, but I'm having this issue now.

Maybe I'm crazy, but it seems that sometimes even tasks that aren't done are disappearing from the list view, although they continue to appear in other views.

If this is not a known or reproduceable bug, any ideas on how to troubleshoot it?

Are you using a saved filter or a project with a filtered view?

I didn't know saved filters were a thing. And I'm not using a filtered view at all as far as I'm aware. But even without any filters, the project list view includes a hardcoded filter to hide done tasks.

Does it work if you remove the filter in the list view settings? (on the top right next to the project name, click on the three dots, then on views, then the pen icon next to the list view, then remove the filter there)
