    Description

      On upgrade from 1.9 to 2.x, filters that are no longer installed/available are not removed from $CFG->stringfilters config. Additionally, when filters are uninstalled, they are not removed from $CFG->stringfilters config. They should be removed during upgrade and when filters are uninstalled.

      The additional filters in $CFG->stringfilters can cause $CFG->filterall to remain enabled, which adds DB load to each page load to filter all strings. There is no way to change it via the UI - an admin must manually remove the legacy filters from the string.
