Description
"Filter legend by map content" has always worked fine for me, until v2.12.0.
Now for some reason a strange glitch occurs with the legend filter for my 'BC Geology layer', which has always worked fine before.
The legend now gets filtered based on the styles present on the map, rather than the features themselves.
For instance, if the map composer only displays two features from the 'BC Geology' layer, instead of only showing THOSE two features in the legend, it shows ALL the features present in the entire attribute table which have the same STYLE as the features showing in map composer.
For example, I have the shapefile styled based on rock type. So if my map composer is showing a single 'feldspar porphyry' feature and a single 'granite' feature from that shape, the legend will display all the feldspar porphyrys and granites in the entire province of BC, because they have all been styled the same.

I have a similar problem that the Filter Legend by map content is not working correctly. In one layer which has one symbol displayed (point data), when I filter, it removes the title and symbol from the legend.
on another layer which I based on polygons rather than points, the filter seems to work. However, if you forget to refresh the map, it relies on what was previously cashed rather than what should be displayed.

Unfortunately not true in this case. Two days after the OP filed the duplicate #14131 he got the attention of a developer. Something that didn't happen to this ticket for over a month :-(
