1.) Go to the modules view and set a filter, for example, set it to show only modules in position 'x' (any position will do, in my experience)
2.) Now go to a content item and click the editor button to insert a module.
1.) Best outcome is for both processes to use independent filters (be able to set one filter in the module view, another in the editor plug-in, and have both be remembered.
2.) Minimally acceptable outcome is to have a mechanism for resetting/changing the existing filter so you can actually see the module you want to insert via the editor.
The pop-up list of modules contains only those modules that satisfy the previously entered filter, and note how there is no possible way to change that state from this pop-up. You have to leave the editor and go back to the module manager just in order to make the editor plug-in work properly.
J3.5.1, PHP 5.6.15, apache 2.4.17, using FPM/fcgi
Ideally the two filter sets should be independent, but even having the editor plugin ignore existing filters and always start with a full list would be an improvement on existing behavior. The use case I'm coming from is setting up a menu ID, switching over to add modules to that menu item, then switching into the content item to insert a module, sometimes repeating that process 2-3 times depending upon circumstances. It's a manual process, and having to remember to reset the module filter is tedious and bad UX. If there's a filter on the items in the list, the filter should be able to be modified while on that list and not require you to abandon your work and go to a different section of the site to make the filter change, then come back to the content item and do what you wanted to do in the first place.

Confirm that behaviour. Did set it to position-7 in module filter for postions, and in article edit only see the modules for position-7 with no way to change to view all positions
J3.5.1, PHP 7.0.4
