Unable to add filter to PostGIS layer while "Render" option is turned off

[bstempi]

I found that I was not able to add filters on PostGIS layers while the "Render" option in the lower right hand corner is unchecked. The idea was to add a layer, stop the rendering, add a filter on my layer, and *then* to render (to save bandwidth).

After unchecking "Render," I right-clicked on the layer, and went to Properties-> General-> Query Builder. I received a database error for every WHERE clause I wrote. After clicking "cancel," I checked the "Render" option, navigated back into the Query Builder, and was able to use WHERE clauses that previously failed.

not reproducable here.

I'll attempt to replicate on another system as soon as possible.
