When selecting a client with name in "Top Clients (total)" / "Top Clients (blocked only)", only the "Client (by IP)" field is prefilled in the "Advanced filtering" menu.

This is expected. DNS works on IP level. The same client could have multiple IPs (e.g. LAN and WIFI network interface). Pi-hole only sees the IP the requests are coming from. So the top lists sometimes contain the same "client" (name) multiple times, one for each assigned IP address (this gets worse with IPv6). Clicking on one entry will only add the IP of that client to the filtering menu.

Thanks for the explanation.
