UX discussion: Filter in saved view opens prompt instead of opening the document directly

[blue-kaleidoscope]

Hi,

I noticed when opening a saved view which uses certain filter properties (i.e. tag "Inbox") filtering inside this view and then trying to open a document it does not get opened but instead paperless asks whether unsaved changes should be saved to this view. I can close the dialogue and then the desired document opens. Here are the steps to reproduce:

1. Open a saved view which uses some filtering
2. Use the text input bar on top to filter the view (i.e. "Billing" --> So show all documents which have the tag "Inbox" and contain the word "Billing" in the title)
3. Click on one of the documents
4. Now the prompt opens instead of the document

As a user I was quite confused as I expected the document to be opened. I clicked "Abort" as I thought I made a mistake which did not open the document. --> Goal not reached.
Now I noticed I should simply click "Close" and then the document opens. This does not really seem intuitive to me. I understand why this dialogue opens as the user implicitly closes the view in order to open the document. But somehow this is counter-intuitive as in most cases users do not want to save the view in such a case (at least that is my gut-feeling).
It is an edge case but I suggest to close the view without saving and prompting and simply opening the document. I would then expect when closing the document I end up in the filtered view again. So in this case: "Inbox" tags and still all documents containing with "Billing". What do you think?
