Hi,
Of course not, because events starting after 10/05/1019 does not include events starting at 05/05/1019, because that starts before that date, and not after. The matching date does not compare between two dates, it matches the selected custom field for that date.
Maybe a filter on event ending date would be better for you – events ending before the selected date, that includes the currently running events, as well as events that start later, but end before the selected date.
