I'm using Ignition version 8.1.21, and I've noticed that the Alarm Status Table sometimes doesn't filter correctly. When I select 'Active' or 'Unacknowledged' along with a priority level (e.g., Critical, High, Low), it still displays all alarms instead of applying the filters properly.

Your screenshot shows Cleared, Unacknowledged as being checked.  
That will basically show most alarms.

How long did you wait after enabling the options?

There was a bug in earlier versions (like 21) where it would take ages for preconfigured filters to apply on load. Maybe not related here. If you have a lot of alarms though it might just be taking a while to load (also a bug imo in not showing a loading animation! Same goes for loading a lot of trend history, there's no loading animation to tell the user it's doing anything in a power chart... So the user ends up changing the window again and again further extending the time until eventually they give up and complain to me that there's a bug)
