The problem I have reported caused me some pain due to incomplete data analysis
due to missing some hidden rows at the end of a large dataset, but after this
discussion it mostly seems to be borne out of my own misconceptions about how
filtering works in Calc.

I am not sure if this is something that can be remedied by making an
enhancement to Reset filter, this may be a problem with command naming and
command placement, that leads inexperienced users to making wrong assumptions
about what which command does. And after all this time, to make changes to this
would be a problem for people who have already learned how to use it properly. 

After all, user should read the docs, not make assumptions.
