Hi!
This request is a natural follow-up of an existing D8 issue:
💬
Using "Limit list to selected items" on exposed filters not working properly
Active
And D7 issue:
#510068: Using "Limit list to selected items" on exposed filters not working →
The title and description of the checkbox: "Limit list to selected items" / "If checked, the only items presented to the user will be the ones selected here." is not clear in that it only applies to the filter options and not the view results.
The title and description could be updated to clarify this:
Title: "Limit filter list to selected items"
Description: "If checked, the only filter options presented to the user will be the ones selected here. This checkbox has no effect on view results list."
And to clarify checkbox purpose completely, and to help those who need results of selected-items-only to be inside view-results-list as well - we could add some documentation words to description:
"If you need view results list to contain results of selected items only, please create additional (same, but non-exposed) filter."
Precise checkbox description would mean less "Closed as designed" Drupal Core issues in the future.

The change/bugfix cannot be fully demonstrated by automated testing, and thus requires manual testing in a variety of environments.
Used to alert the usability topic maintainer(s) that an issue significantly affects (or has the potential to affect) the usability of Drupal, and their signoff is needed. When adding this tag, make it easy to review the issue. Make sure the issue summary describes the problem and the proposed solution. Screenshots usually help a lot! To get sign-off on issues with the "Needs usability review" tag, post about them in the #ux channel on Drupal Slack, and/or attend a UX meeting to demo the patch and get direct feedback from designers/UX folks/product management on next steps. If an issue represents a significant new feature, UI change, or change to the general "user experience" of Drupal, use Needs product manager review instead. See the scope of responsibilities for product managers.
