As a Strongarm newbie creating a Feature with Rules it seemed safe to tick the "rules_inactive_sets" checkbox as my guess was that would build into the feature the one or two rule sets I had specifically made inactive.

However, this creates a feature which disables about a dozen basic Rules events like "when content is updated". The simplest of rules then fail to trigger.

Is this a bug in Strongarm or Rules, is the checkbox misleading or have I misunderstood something?

I've been doing some testing with the two modules, and I can verify that it is not a bug in Strongarm. Strongarm is exporting and saving what is in the variable table for that variable. It looks like certain events like term save, term update, node update etc are defined as inactive by rules unless there is an active triggered rule associated with that event.

The variable name also seems a bit misleading as it only appears to store unused events and inactive rule sets, not inactive rules in the rule sets.

Thanks for taking the time to investigate and explain.
