Thanks. "type-ahead" at least would be a big improvement. However,
one has still to uncheck "all" and to click "OK". Formerly this all
was only one click.


I know that last time that I looked at it, there were some problems with 
key bindings.
E.g. Alt-A for All did not work. But it was too distant from my regular 
activities to have a clue about improving that.


Cheers,

The new one is getting better. See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=e3250b90677fc7ae449cb3ff887ed3da35b4532f

So this can be tested in the daylies.
I've not checked / seen if it is lined up for the 3.6.x too.

Cheers,

I have several users, also heavily complaining about the new
AutoFilter. In fact, for the very most use cases the new AutoFilter
is much more time consuming than it was before.

Unfortunately I do not have the time and skills to start a serious
initiative for reintroducing the old version of AutoFilter.

Is anyone around who follows the opinion on the new AutoFilter and
is able and willing to file a bug and promote an improvement by
reconstituting the well-proven old version of AutoFilter?

...or at least forward this to the appropriate mailing list, if this
should be wrong here. ;-)

Thanks,

Stefan
