Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107698
AutoFiltering is not a permanent action and should be
Last modified: 2017-05-20 09:57:24 UTC
Autofiltering in OOo is not a permanent action. After certain actions, such as sort, the autofilter disappears. Since the setting of autofilter requires selecting all the data you want filtered, this sometimes requires selecting, and re-selecting, a large amount of data. "Click-shift-scroll-click" doesn't seem like much until you've done it six or seven times on the same data in ten minutes. Also if your data is filtered and you have done an action that removes the autofilter, the data is locked in the filtered view. Help was no help with this, but the solution is select the whole sheet and show all rows.
It seems that I can't reproduce that with "Ooo 3.1.1 WIN XP DE-multilingual version German UI activated [OOO310m19 (Build 9420)]"! @etusch: Please attach a sample document and contribute a step by step instruction!
