Notification subscription's Alert Criteria options do not work as expected.

If you like me try to do some filtering of the alerts in Operations Manager 2007 you maybe step in to this one. When you set up an alert subscription you have to choose the Alert Criteria and the Category. If you like me try to uncheck any of the categories you will find out that no alerts will get sent. I tried to filter out performance categories but not even the test alerts got thrue. Now this is a problem with the Ops Mgr 2007 Console.
