Smart Filters 'Does not contain' work incorrectly w/ multiple artists

Issue description:

Hi,
I am trying to use smart filters in the Tracks library list.
My end goal is to display the tracks of a certain artist [Vegyn], except the ones that feature another certain artist [Headache] (tagged as an additional artist).

I would try and achieve this as follows:

  1. Open Tracks library page
  2. Apply smart filter for Artist contains: ‘Vegyn’
    → All tracks by Vegyn appear as results, including those with multiple artists
  3. Apply additional smart filter rule for Artist does not contain: ‘Headache’
  4. Set to match ‘All’
    → Notice that tracks by multiple artists ‘Headache, Vegyn’ are still displayed in the results
    [Results are the same whether I use rule groups or not, or whether I use the filter value selector or type it manually]

Another way to show the same problem is as follows:

  1. Open Tracks library page
  2. Apply smart filter for Artist does not contain ‘Vegyn’
  3. Filter results (using the magnifying glass icon) for ‘Vegyn’, or apply a smart filter rule of Artist contains ‘Vegyn’
    → All tracks featuring a single artist ‘Vegyn’ are not present, but tracks by multiple artists that include Vegyn are present.

A video of this second scenario is uploaded under ‘Tobyburton96 Smart filter multiple artist bug’.

This same logic/bug holds true for all different multiple artists. The same problem occurs when using ‘Artist Is Not’.

This is actually normal in that case, since each rule applies to each artist.

I’ll add the display artists field as possible smart filters to allow this.
