Problem/Motivation

Exposed checkbox filter widget is not working when the operator is exposed

Steps to reproduce

1) Create taxonomy term with some terms
2) Add Taxonomy reference to the created taxonomy vocabulary on a content type
3) Goto views and edit the content view
4) Add the taxonomy reference as an exposed dropdown filter and allow multiple selections
5) Change the exposed form style to BEF
6) Open the exposed form options and select the added filter choose widget: checkboxes
At this point everything works as expected
7) Edit the exposed filter and select Expose operator.
No more checkboxes :c

When commenting code in the views module in file core/modules/views/src/Plugin/views/filter/FilterPluginBase.php (Line 957-962) It works as expected.

      if ((!empty($this->options['expose']['use_operator']) && !empty($this->options['expose']['operator_id'])) || count(Element::children($form[$value]))) {
        $wrapper = $value . '_wrapper';
        $this->buildValueWrapper($form, $wrapper);
        $form[$wrapper][$value] = $form[$value];
        unset($form[$value]);
      }

I tested this patch #4 on version 6.0.3. Attaching the screenshots for tags filter before and after applying patch.

Thanks!

Patch #4 works, but when a lot of checkboxes are present, a scrollable element is needed (Like before) else the filter will be really long.

Nevermind my previous comment #6, Patch #4 works like intended

I can confirm Patch # 4 works as expected. However, i just logged a new issue very similar to this, but it is using the "Remember the last selection" feature. https://www.drupal.org/project/better_exposed_filters/issues/3359182
