If we select a Rule category (other than top) then reload the Rule page, the state of the Rule table is not coherent.

Description

When we select a Rule sub-category, we filter the rule table to only display rules on that category.
Then if we reload the page, the displayed selected category in the tree is the top one (Rules), but the list of rules only displays rules from the previously selected sub-category.

And so, we have a really bad inconsistency (the user may think that some rules disapeared).

The problem is that the state of the table is saved in a cookie, and so the filter is still aplied on the table when reloading the page.
But the selected category in the tree is not saved, and so the default one is kept.
So we can either also save the category to highlight in the tree, or reset the filter in the table. The second solution is much more simple, so we are going to that one as bug correction, and we will consider keeping all the state in as a new feature.
