Bug #: 47412
Summary: FILTER: AutoFiter Redesign of the Auto-Filter
Classification: Unclassified
Product: LibreOffice
Version: LibO 3.5.1 Release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Status Whiteboard: BSA
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Spreadsheet
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
What the Auto-filter was replaced with should really be a replacement for the
Standard Filter. It has added options to something that the whole point of was
quick EASY access.
In my opinion this is a bug, as I'm no longer able to quickly access my data.
Steps to "quickly" drill down data:
3.4 Version with Mouse
1. Click drop down arrow
2. Begin typing what your looking for
3. Select
4. Results
3.5 Version with Mouse
1. Click drop down arrow
2. Tick All to unselect
3. Manually with your mouse scroll through list (which if you have many rows
can take a while)
4. Tick to select
5. Click Ok
6. Results
Not only does this add time it adds steps.
Let look at using the keyboard, which for anyone who uses spreadshhets does,
easily.
3.4 Version
1. Ctrl-Home
2. Alt-Arrow Down
3. Type what you want
4. Enter
3.5 Version
1-Ctrl-Home
2.Alt-Arrow Down
3.Tab
4.Tab
5.Space bar to deselect all
6.Shift-tab
7.Scroll for your item (page down/arrow down)
8. Space bar to select
9.Tab
10.Enter
Again I appreciate the redesign, I just think it replaced the wrong thing.
Quick easy access is what the auto-filter is for.
Add an additional filter, or replace the standard filter with the new UI.
Thanks
