Ruthless bug

Item Filters in Ruthless incorrectly won't allow to hide items.

To reproduce, create a filter with just:

"
Hide
Class "Currency"


Beside the visual clutter this has some frustrating side effects for people playing with a mouse, namely:
- Your character moves in a random direction because you clicked on the label of some trash item
- Inventory steadily fills up with accidental pickups

The dozens of Ruthless players thank you in advance for fixing this long standing bug!

I'm not arguing against players wanting the functionality, particularly when Ruthless still starts to drop a lot of items, but to my understanding the Hide function was deliberately disabled in Ruthless item filters (designed rather than a bug, though it might be time to revisit that decision).

Right now the alternative is to construct rules that make the font very small and the label plain for any unwanted items.

There is a game option to enforce a pick up key when picking up items, which will prevent you running toward items instead of attacking enemies (or picking up unwanted items). I have always played with this enabled as it would be too easy to die in Hardcore without it.
Hello fellow Ruthless enjoyer!

If this option was deliberately disabled in a feature that has to be deliberately enabled in the first place, i would find that odd. Maybe GGG thought it unnecessary to hide items during the design of Ruthless, but in practise i really miss the QoL and see no point in disallowing Hide.
