Filter "Special Items" in combination with other filters

I take that as "Special Items" are exclusive, right?

But...

Scenario
Check (for example) "Modified in last 30 days"
==> Some files are shown
Add some more filter (shouldn't be possible), like by Ctrl-"France"
==>
(1) Button "Modified in last 30 days" is still selected
(2) Only images assigned "France" are shown

Expected:
If any "Special item" is selected,
adding any other filter selection (by Ctrl- or by Alt-)
must not be possible.
Only simple click to a different category (and by that automtical deselecting special items)
shall be allowed.
Beside being bugs it may lead to misunderstandings

Additional info:
Moreover if taking Special Item "All" there is an inconsistency to say "Modified in last 30 days":
Checked "All": when Clicking "France" then (Ctrl- or Alt-) it doesn't show (not) "France" but continues showing "All".

I see no reason why all filters except 'All' in Special items cannot work with other filters

That's a different aspect.

I do agree to it: no reason for that restriction.

Just an "implementation restriction" so far :)
