Describe the bug

Very minor, reporting it solely in case it leads to an "a-hah" moment for some bigger issue.

Visible symptom

The X button in the Comparison drawer will sometimes increase the number of items seen, rather than removing the one picked.

Reproduction steps

1. Pick any filter-expression that narrows to a comparable subset of a broader comparable set. For example, exactname:boomslang-4fr is narrower than the parent comparable set of is:linearfusionrifle.

2. Append an incorrect or on the end, such as exactname:boomslang-4fr or. The bug does not occur if there is a trailing space. Despite the trailing or, everything seems to work as expected.

3. Click the "Compare" icon inside the search-box, in-between "X items" and the star-icon to toggle as favorite.

4. The comparison drawer will pop out with your X different boomslang-4fr items.

5. Pick one item, and click the corner "X" to remove it from consideration.

Expected result: One fewer item showing in the comparison.

Actual result: Comparison grows to include everything it can, in this case example equivalent to is:linearfusionrifle.

Additional thoughts:

• Perhaps removing an item causes the flawed filter to be re-evaluated differently when the X button is clicked, so that it is implicitly changed to "or true", which causes a broader comparison constrained by an implicit broader category like weapon-type or armor class-and-slot.

• Other examples of typed filter versus after-X behavior:

  • exactname:"the xûrfboard"
  • is:chest is:exotic or
  • is:helmet is:warlock power:<500 or

• Does not occur with is:engrams power:<500 or, in that case the filter is immediately considered invalid and the comparison-drawer cannot be opened.
