    Description

      I've hit this when doing patch #2 for MDEV-30218:
      https://github.com/MariaDB/server/commit/678f2220cc25b3495f1f16fe2732e49a0cd120f8

      EXPLAIN in subselect2.result shows "ref|filter":

      1	PRIMARY	t3	ref|filter	PRIMARY,FFOLDERID_IDX,CMFLDRPARNT_IDX	FFOLDERID_IDX|CMFLDRPARNT_IDX	34|35	test.t3.PARENTID	1 (29%)	Using where; Using rowid filter
      

      The nature of the patch hints that this access should have been eq_ref.
      MDEV-30218.

      Debugging, one can see that best_access_path() considers eq_ref on that index.
      Optimizer Trace also shows:

                    {
                      "access_type": "eq_ref",
                      "index": "FFOLDERID_IDX",
                      "rowid_filter_key": "CMFLDRPARNT_IDX",
                      "rows": 1,
                      "cost": 15.444,
                      "chosen": true
                    },
