I have a member filter created which shows all the QRPGLESRC members in
my library. I wanted to find only the members where the first letter of
the text was F so I change the existing filter (which showed all
members) and added F* to the member text box (it was just * which did
not filter). When I then hit the Test button (or apply the change and
expand the filter) the list is empty.

Can someone check if this happens to them as well or let me know if I'm
doing something wrong.

Same behaviour in 9.5.0.3.

I don't think the member text filter is a regular expression. It looks
literally for what's entered there.

That is, if I put F*, the filter looks for member text containing F
followed by ASTERISK. If I put just an F, the filter returns all
members having an F somewhere in the text. If I put 'fix' the filter
returns members with FIX at the front, in the middle or at the end of
the text, including members with text like SUFFIX, PREFIX, and FIXTURE.
