Plugins page: When Must-Use tab selected the tabs Auto-updates Enabled and Auto-updates Disabled are missing

[abitofmind]

@costdev this is a valid plugins issue this time I guess 😉 Simply a minor bug/glitch to fix.

Unfortunately must use plugins are not updatable. Therefore this is intended behavior. Plugins outside of the standard plugin directory are not updatable in core.

Thanks for pointing this out!

Regardless auto-updates are available or not for mu-plugins, we should indeed add these filters to this screen, for better consistency across Plugins Screens.

Moving for 6.2 consideration.
Patch welcome :)

Mu-plugins cannot be activated or deactivated, but the related filters are still showed on this screen, for consistency across Plugins screens :)

Exactly that. This is simply a navigation consistency glitch which should be fixed independently what MU-Plugins themselves allow or now. It is valid to navigate from any tab to any other tab within the Plugins screen of WordPress. Hence please fix.

@abitofmind would you like to propose a patch to improve the current implementation?

[abitofmind]

Thanks but no. Am no coder. UX Designer (and a bit of QA/Tester) by profession.

But wanted to properly report and argue the inconsistency at least.

Hope this gets fixed, but if not, it's a minor glitch one can leave with.

Thanks for the ticket @abitofmind!
