@BetterRed - re: the post you referenced, that is discussing VM's behaviour when you switch from a View with a search restriction to one without, and yes, it appears that in order to negate it you either need to manually clear the virtual library/saved search or check the box for Apply search restriction without having an actual search restriction. In either case that's not the issue I'm having. The problem isn't going from one View to another it's when I first open my library.
I have a View called Finalization that I use in my editing process. It has ten columns selected for viewing and Apply Search Restriction: #done:false and series:false.
These are the steps to recreate the issue I'm having:
Step 1: Open up a library: it appears with the last columns that I had set to view, no virtual library active
Step 2: If I select a View with an Apply search restriction setting: the columns change to match that View settings but the search restriction is not applied.
Step 3: Apply a virtual library: can be any VL, it doesn't matter.
Step 4: Close virtual library: if I don't, on the next step VM assumes I want the View search restriction applied within that virtual library.
Step 5: Select the View I want to work with: the search restriction now works perfectly.

But the post I refer to above predates the existence of virtual libraries and Qt5, which makes me wonder if your VM settings at home and at work are the same, particularly regarding the Apply <search> settings.

That was one of the first things I thought of and checked. The VM settings, and the VL's, are exactly the same because I'm accessing the same library from both computers via a portable drive. At home I access it via Calibre Portable, currently 2.19. At work I have a desktop shortcut set to open Calibre 1.48 while using the --with-library command to specifically access the library on my portable drive.
