macOS Catalina 10.15.7

openjdk 11.0.9.1 2020-11-04
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.9.1+1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.9.1+1, mixed mode)

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
In mission control, I'm able to right click on given fields and hit "Store and Set As Focused Selection". For example, I can pick a thread, set it as the focused selection, and in other panes, I see the proper filtering applied due to the focus/aspect. However, in method profiling, it is completely unaffected by whatever selection that I apply.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1) Capture a flight recording
2) Enter the threads pane
3) Right click on a thread (ex. main) and Store and Set As Focused Selection
4) Change aspect > 'Thread Name' is main
5) Enter method profiling view

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I would expect only events with thread name being main showing
ACTUAL -
I see all threads. No selection is respected.

---------- BEGIN SOURCE ----------
Am able to reproduce this with a simple hello world example flight recording.
---------- END SOURCE ----------

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I am able to work around this by right clicking > show filter, and then entering information there that I need to filter by (ex. thread name).

FREQUENCY : always
