Thank you so much for the help. You are absolutely right!

This is an oversight and misunderstanding by me. Really appreciate your
explanation.

Currently, I'm happy with this behavior. I'll learn how to submit a
feature request
anyway in case in the future I feel a need to.
After your first reply earlier, I came to realize that the pop-up
buffer in which I am
able to select a template is indeed some kind of agenda view/mode. This can be
confirmed by looking up the source code. So my original problem indeed had sth
to do with agenda, not `org-capture'.
Then I found my setting of `org-agenda-files' was indeed wrong:
Sth like:
(setq org-agenda-files ("~/projects/org/agenda.org"))
;; ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
empty file at the moment
will actually make the whole ~/projects/org directory as the agenda source,
hence all the files under it will be loaded once agenda function is activated.
I did that, again, because I misunderstood the manual. I should use a
list for agenda files
or a plain text file in which I specify agenda files, one per line.
Hope all the information in this thread will help whoever runs into
the same issue as I did.
Best,
Noel
