Running BOINC 6.10.18 under Windows Vista Home edition.

For apparently no reasons downloaded tasks which have not yet run, and finished tasks, have become invisible in the Task Tab.

It does show running and waiting to run, but as soon as the task is finished it becomes invisible again.

Hit the button that says 'Show All Tasks' and All the tasks will be shown,
now the button changes to 'Show Active Tasks', if you hit it now, only active tasks will be shown,
The button is there to help relieve the Pressure on the Client and Manager when Boinc has a large amount of tasks,
as the client has to send the task details to the Manager once a second, if there's less tasks in the list to display, Boinc performs better.

Do'h. When did that button show up?

Thank you.
