When expanding the Rally Team Status page, projects are shown under users

Issue/Introduction

When expanding a user to see the user's tasks on the Team Status page, sometimes projects are listed under the user instead of just tasks.  In order to view tasks, you must expand the project name.

Cause

If you are scoped to an upper-level project and you have the option selected to show items from child projects, then the Team Status page will show those project names if the user has tasks in those projects or if the user is a team member of the projects.

If you do not have the option selected to show items from child projects, then it shows only the tasks for the currently scoped project as I show below here:

Resolution

This behavior is working as designed, however if you uncheck the option to show items from child projects in the project dropdown menu, then it will no longer show the projects under the user.  Additionally, if you are scoped to a project without children then the Team Status page will also not show any projects under the user either.
