Description
Using Drupal 5.9 and Views 5.x-1.6, the UID-filter does not work as expected: Set to "is equal to" "Currently Logged In User", I would expect the resulting view to only show the current user's favorites. It does however show everybody's favs. We accidentally found that exposing the filter makes it work as anticipated.
#1
I'm not sure why it should show everybody's favourites but I can see why it may always show those for a particular user. The view gets cached with an actual user ID rather than the magic string ***CURRENT_USER***, which needs to be used in any situation where the current user ID is required, to ensure the view can be cached.
Here's a patch that fixes it.

Fixed in -dev.
