This is a simple issue but if you don't expect the behavior it can surprise you.
The grid, used by SSMS, is limited to a maximum number of rows, that can be displayed, of 1 million.
Note: There is no warning dialog or flashing toolbar.

You may adjust other filter criteria, such as the time rage, event type, and up to the first 1 million rows meeting the filter criteria are displayed.
