Not quite sure what you mean here, Adrien.

In GC 2.x, General Journal was called General Ledger. The filter on
General Ledger would not persist, even if you ticked Save Filter.
Closing and reopening the General Ledger tab reverted to showing the
past 30 days, even if you reopened General Ledger in the same GC session.

In 4.14, the default is only to show the past 30 (or 31?) days. But when
I set a filter to show everything from a particular date till today and
tick Save Filter, that filter _does_ persist, even if I close and reopen GC.

And there _is_ a way to turn the filter off once and for all: View »
Filter, select Show All, tick Save Filter, and click OK. I've tried that
just now, and it also persists through closing and reopening GC. There
are other options to select a number of days or a date range.

I don't have 5.x (waiting for 5.4's release), but II wouldn't think it
likely that General Journal filtering was re-broken in 5.x.
