Filter & pre-filters in action bar (universal GUI)

What am I doing wrong?

I want the pre-filters after the normal filters, and actually in the overflow. So I defined this in the default action bar
 

And in screen type I setup an action bar (the pre-filter bar is also necessary, otherwise no pre-filters are visible, which is unexpected to me, as these should appear based on action bar. For the tasks, those are visible based on action bar, so these seem to work differently)

Here also, filter & quick-filter before pre-filters

But the result is, and that is not what I want
 


As default is overflow, I have not defined custom display type
 


Am I doing something wrong or is it not working properly?

 Also this is very strange.

@avandervelden Note that with the new Action bar, we only have 1 Overflow menu at the Far end of the bar. See also the remarks in this blog:

  • The Prefilter overflow menu is removed, the Action bar has a single overflow menu at the far end of the bar.

The result of your ‘Overflow’ setting is what you see in the screenshot in your reply: it is shown in the Overflow menu at the far right.

Due to your additional Pre-filter bar on the Screen Type, we merge the Pre-filter bar with the Action bar and show the Pre-filter for a second time. You shouldn’t need this Pre-filter bar.

If you want the Pre-filters immediately after the Filter buttons at the Near end of the bar, you cannot have them in an Overflow, instead I would suggest you set the Display type to ‘icon’.
