'Assigned to Editor' filter shows results without a relevant editorial assignment

Describe the issue or problem
When an Editor views the ‘All Active’ tab, they can filter using the ‘Assigned to Editor’ field, allowing them to enter the names of their co-editors and assess which submissions they are assigned to.

This brings up a list of the relevant editors assignments, but it also shows submissions where that user is assigned in different roles - e.g. if the selected editor also has a submission where they are the author.

Steps I took leading up to the issue
For example:

  1. Go to ‘All active’
  2. Filter the ‘Assigned to editor’ to a specific editor/section editor
  3. if that editor/section editor has submissions in process in a non-editor capacity (e.g. author or reviewer) then these show in the resulting list.

As this filter is used to assess which editors have which assignments this makes it harder to work out how many editorial assignments they actually have.

What application are you using?
OJS 3.3.0-20 and 3.4.0.7
