Redmine

Redmine is specifically designed to behave this way. See the following two tests:

• IssuesControllerTest#test_index_with_project_and_default_filter, source:/trunk/test/functional/issues_controller_test.rb@13458#L137
• IssuesControllerTest#test_index_with_short_filters, source:/trunk/test/functional/issues_controller_test.rb@13458#L205

You could modify the value yourself though. The default filter is initialized on source:/trunk/app/models/issue_query.rb@13458#L71. It looks like this:

    self.filters ||= { 'status_id' => {:operator => "o", :values => [""]} }

If you want the default filter to be ':status => any' instead of ':status => open' you need to change the above snippet to look like:

    self.filters ||= { 'status_id' => {:operator => "*", :values => [""]} }

For a list of the operators you can see source:/trunk/app/models/query.rb@13458#L167.

Note that when you make a change like this in your instance, you are actually breaking the test suite as the mentioned tests will start to generate test failures.
