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.
