filter for probably alive is not producing expected results

Gramps 5.2.3, x64, both under windows 10, and Debian (using the ubuntu 
20 .deb.file).

I am trying to process my wife's tree, imported from Gedcom, looking for 
all living people without certain characteristics.

I set limits for About, After and Before each to 1 year.

If I add a custom filter "probably living" and set a date explicitly to 
yesterday then I get  947 individuals, and it looks about right.

However, if I leave the date empty, the docs say it should default to 
"today" and possibly include extra people who have a death event 
recorded with no date at all.  So, I expected to get the same number or 
possibly a few more.  However, I only get 491. The striking feature is 
that not a single one of them has been assigned a birth date.

If I search birth date between "1919 and 2024" then I find nearly 300 
people with a birth date and no death record. These people should all 
appear in the probably alive filter but none do.

Am I doing something completely wrong, or is there a bug?


Cameron.
