How can I fix the Activity Stream Widget?

Question

My Activity Stream Widget on my dashboard used to be filtered to only the projects I care about.  Now it's showing activity in all projects.  When I click to add a filter the only options I'm offered are:

* JIRA Issue Key
* Update Date
* Username

What's gone wrong and how can I fix it?

That's very weird indeed. Well, at least it's working now! Maybe was something to do with adding global filters.

When I do that I am presented with the two options:

* Activity
* Issue Type

However now it seems that the Project option has re-appeared in my Global Filter, so maybe something has been fixed.

When you edit the Activity Stream there is a section 'Filter' that says 'Filters can be used to customise the activity in your stream. Add a filter.' Can you press on Add Filter? It should show others fields to complete.
