Not only can't I quite make sense of showing only bountied questions without bounty, de-selecting does not seem to have any effect either…

1Did you press the apply filter button? Otherwise nothing gets changed.– LuuklagOct 13, 2020 at 12:26

Now you can ask for bounties that don't end soon.– MastOct 14, 2020 at 9:04

@Mast I don't understand. What are you telling me?– AdámOct 14, 2020 at 9:47

You were asking what the box did. I told you what the box did. The box is for filtering (previously) bountied questions regardless of whether they expire soon or are already expired, the 'sorted by' radiobutton is only for sorting. 'Has bounty' should actually be called 'has ever had one or more bounties of which at least 1 was awarded' IIUC.– MastOct 14, 2020 at 10:17

@Mast Well, this post is on the bounty list when "Has bounty" is selected, even though it has never had one or more bounties of which at least 1 was awarded, so I don't think your understanding is correct.– AdámOct 14, 2020 at 10:34

Yes, I said that wrong. Should've been 'has ever had one or more bounties of which at least 1 was awarded or currently has active bounty'. Naturally.– MastOct 14, 2020 at 11:27

@Mast Right, which then comes back to what that box does on the "bountied" tab where obviously all listed posts have an active bounty.– AdámOct 14, 2020 at 11:51

So the real question is how that tab works. Since you move away from that tab the moment you use a filter.– MastOct 14, 2020 at 11:54

Filters are independent of tabs, which is a good design choice to make storing and choosing filters independent of tab as well, so it does nothing, but it's still logical for it to be there.
