Priority: medium
Bug ID: 76890
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: The autofilter GUI is not intuitive: (a) It does not
reflect current state; (b) Cannot be turned off
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.2 rc
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Take any dataset and apply autofilter to it.
(Using the "Data > Filter > Autofilter" menu).
Now from the pull-down list of any column, select the "Standard filter..."
option. Use the "Contains" condition and enter a string that none of the
records have. So now all the records will be filtered out.
Again, from the pull-down list of any column, select the "Standard filter..."
option. Logically, the GUI should have changed to reflect the filter that we
have already applied:
(a) There should be a tick against the "Standard filter..." option
(toggleable)
(b) The check-boxes against all values should show a "neutral state" (a blue
rectangle), rather "selected" (tick) or "unselected" (blank).
But the filter GUI behaves as if there are no filters applied at all!
Consequently, it does not allow you to reset those filters.
There is a work-around, though: toggle the "All" check box TWICE.
Thus effectively, you are bringing it back to "all selected" state.
Although it somehow resets the Standard filter, this is not intuitive.
(Users will not realize that they can reset the Standard Filter in this
manner.)
