That's because you're editing the list of display filters (using
"Edit->Display Filters") rather than filtering the current display (by
clicking on the "Filter:" button at the bottom of the screen.

Try using the "Filter:" button instead.  Note that, when you create a
filter, you do *NOT* have to give it a name in order to use it to filter
the display, and you do *NOT* have to add it to the list of stored
display filters.
