Dashboard Gadget results not matching JQL filter

[Colin Davidson]

I wrote an Issue query and it works perfectly for my Jira board but when I select this same query for my dashboard gadget, I get results that are not related to my query.  The query I wrote is very specific in the project, issue and feature team.  When I select this same query in the dashboard gadget, it returns other Feature Teams that are not visible in my Project or Board.  Why?
