**Steps to replicate the issue**
(the issuse was reproducible on `wmf.7``cswiki` and `eswiki`)
* Go to Special:Newcomertasks page, e.g. [[ https://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1ln%C3%AD:Informace_o_edita%C4%8Dn%C3%ADch_tipech | cs:Special:NewcomerTasksInfo]] and find tasks+topic combination that will fetch zero suggested articles. For `cswiki` it's **Chemistry+update**
* On Special:Homepage select **Chemistry** as a topic.
* For the task type, select, for example, **Update** - the number of found suggestions should be zero.
* De-select **Update** - the warning "Select at least one type of edit" appears. Click on 'X' to close the filter selection overlay.
* Add another topic.
**What happens?**:
- The task types filter selection is empty.
- The task counter incorrectly display zero for the number of available tasks -although many topics have been selected
- Reloading the page will display suggestions, but the task types filter selection will still display empty
