I've noticed that when adding multiple filters, after you 'Expose' one, it doesn't automatically offer editing of the others.

For example, when you add multiple filters, you then get taken through each one and customise it. After clicking 'Update', you get taken to the next one, and so on. However, if you click 'Expose' then 'Update', you get taken back to the main screen where you have to click on the remaining filters manually to customise them.

Hope I've explained it well enough for you to duplicate.

Sorry, have so much to do that this one has remained on the back burner. Still keeping it open in the vain hope someone else will take a look at it for me. I'll get to it someday =)

Yes this is a interesting feature. Moving to views 3.

Not really, is more a views UI feature request than a view option.

Ok, so I've been looking through the code and have found the issue on lines 1710-1719 of views/includes/admin.inc:

<?php
// check to see if this is the top form of the stack. If it is, pop
// it off; if it isn't, the user clicked somewhere else and the stack is
// now irrelevant.
if (!empty($view->stack)) {
  $identifier = views_ui_build_identifier($key, $view, $display_id, $args);
  $top = array_shift($view->stack);
  if (array_shift($top) != $identifier) {
    $view->stack = array();
  }
}
?>

Currently, clicking 'Expose' has the same effect as clicking 'Update' - the stack is reduced by one element; however, as the filter in question hasn't changed, there is now a difference between the current filter and the 'identifier' which, as a result, discards the stack altogether.

I couldn't work out how to prevent the 'Expose' button from shifting the current filter off the stack, but hopefully this information helps someone else work it out.
