Steps to reproduce the issue

In a custom administrator menu.
Ceate a new menu item of type "Module Manager".
Because view "Module Manager" has no filter for "Site/Administrator" and because the menu item type "Module Manager" doesn't provide an option to select a client_id=0 or client_id=1 it depends on your last visit which modules you see. No chance to switch it.

I propose to bring back the filter "Site/Administrator" in view "Module Manager".

I would suggest to have only one Module Overview in the system, every Module could have a badge or an icon for its client. Then there could be a Filter for Frontend (default) and backend, and no need for separate links.

You would have to change modules to not be client specific for that to be viable. Otherwise, at the absolute minimum, the "new module" button becomes confusing having mixed modules from both applications.

You are right. The screen was only "thinking loud" because testers have problems with the two different links to modules. And as @re:Later writes, it is not userfriendly. Maybe we can go back to the 3.x solution.
