No argument on that one.

But here I think the way it works is correct - I suspect it is the use
of the word "Never" that confuses things.

If it worked the way you're thinking it should, there'd be no (easy) way to
list the sequences that are to be shown, instead of the ones that aren't.

Now one simply uses '*' as the "Never show", which removes all of the
sequences, then lists the sequences to display in "Show" - if the negative
list overrode the positive list, that wouldn't be possible (and since the
default is "show", having a positive list to augment that before the
negative list to subtract sequences adds nothing useful).

Perhaps just changing "Never" (in the menu label) to "Don't" would be
enough to make it a little clearer what happens?
