- # 14211
Steps to reproduce the issue
Go To the Articles List
Click Search Tools, Select Trashed.
Click New
Expected result
A new empty Article form is shown with SENSIBLE defaults
Actual result
A new empty Article form is shown with TRASHED as the status prefilled
System information (as much as possible)
[3.7b3] PHP 7.1.2
(Same happens with other views, like the Modules List and creating a new Module after selecting trashed in the list creates a module with status = trashed as default)

I disagree.
A List of articles should have a different stored scope/session than the defaults used to create an article. The defaults used at article creation should be sensible defaults and not linked in anyway to to the filtering of the list of articles last done.
Im not saying its not always been like this, but it seems flawed as a design
The filtering state is used in creation for shortcuts like creating an article with a given category when that filter is active. Not saying all of the filters should be used in that process, but the logic behind it has merit.
In that case it has merit as its setting sensible defaults...
However setting the Status=Trashed on a new article juts because the last filter in a list was trashed, is not a sensible default.

I think this is expected behavior and similiar to: #14193 as the state is saved to the session and reused there. This should also be the case in 3.6.5
