Focus the list of entries by pressing the TAB key four times or click on > an item in the list (e. g. if the list contains month names, click on April) That's the problem. If you want to limit the list to show only specific items that match a search (such as starting with the letter "S"), you should not focus on some item ("April") but rather put the focus/cursor within the "Search items" field. The "Search items" field is also shown in the screenshot attachment 188089 from comment 1 (linked also in comment 3), located just above the "All" tick box, but it is clear that the focus is not in it. In most cases, when opening the Autofilter list, the "Search items" field already has the focus, so immediately and directly typing characters (such as the letter S) would limit the autofilter list below it. IOW, no need to press [TAB]; just start typing. Please test whether using the (adequate) "Search items" field accomplishes the desired effect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
