[rules-users] Can get "not equal" (!=) to work but not "equal" (==) in LHS

[Davide Sottara]

Are you setting the focus on the agenda group appropriately?
Remember that, with lock-on-active, you'll also have to TOGGLE the focus....

I tested the rules on 5.5.1-snapshot and everything seems to work,
which version are you using?
