@BookJunkieLI - I see the same result with both calibre 2.20 and 1.48. When a VL is active, the tags shown in the Categories sidebar and in Manage Tags is the subset as defined by the Tags column of the books in the current VL. Same with other categories, like author and publisher.

As far as I know its been like that since VL's were 'invented'.

Maybe you've stumbled on another long standing quirk of VLs. Do you have any View Manager search effects in play.

I often wish for Show All/Show Subset keyboard toggles in the Categories sidebar and Manage <whatevers> windows.

¿ What bulk operations can you do in Manage Tags that you can't do with right click operations in the Categories sidebar (tag browser) ? Apart from sorting by count... actually I think you even can do that, somewhere there's something to do with arranging Tags by 'popularity' - might be a Tweak.
