 I have tested this on 4 different sites and found the same issue. At first
 I thought it was the code I copied then I realized the issue was happening
 with core.

 '''
 Steps to produce:'''
 Use register_post_type to add a post type, say "objects"

 Use register_taxonomy to create custom tax, say "attributes"

 Be sure to have 'show_ui' => true

 Create a post, give it a tax. IE: attribute1

 Create a second post, give it a different tax. IE: attribute2

 On the menu navigate to your tax menu page

 here it will list attribute1 and attribute2.

 It will show 1 post in each, and the number 1 is a link to edit.php
 where it creates this URL string:
 yoursite.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=objects&attribute=attribute1

 '''Expected Result:'''
 The page should now be filtered down to JUST posts that have that
 attribute.


 '''Actual Result:'''
 All Posts are still visible. Filtering has no effect.

 I found this by creating custom columns and with my switch listing links
 to the Tax's to be filtered. I've never gotten it to work.
 I do have a great script I believe by YOAST that creates a drop down to
 filter Tax's but this actually changes the global query itself.
