Description grofaty 2018-11-30 09:29:22 UTC
Description:
Using AutoFilter's option when ever Yes or No is selected from dialog, the same action is executed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create simple file with two columns and few data or open attached samplle.ods document.
2. Click in A1 cell.
3. From toolbar click on AutoFilter icon or select Data | AutoFilter option from menu.
4. Dialog is displayed: "The range does not contain column headers. Do you want the first line to be used as column header?"
5. Select "Yes" and autofilter appears.

Now close down the document and do not save and repeat above steps, but in last step select "No" and the result is the same "autofilter appears.

Actual Results:
What ever is selected Yes or No, the effect is the same, autofilter appears.

Expected Results:
I actually do not understand this dialog at all and I would completely remove the dialog and just do the autofilter.

But if you decide you keep this dialog, then at least make it in a way that Yes/No do not produce the same result. Probably No should not turn on autofilter at all, I see it more like Cancel.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I would suggest to completely remove this dialog, because I just don't see any sense in it and it just nags me non-stop. AutoFilter is simple to turn on and off just by selecting AutoFilter icon from toolbar or even Undo works to disable AutoFilter, so I see no reason to have this dialog at all.

Another tiny comment. Yes/No dialogs are very user unfriendly. You force the user to read whole text. If you decide to keep the dialog then at least change buttons from "Yes" to "OK" and from "No" to "Cancel", to be consistent with Data | Pivot Table | Create menu selection and spare some time users do not need to read the text on dialog.

Dialog is clear: "Do you want the first line to be used as column header?"
YES - header and 3 row values
NO - no header and 4 row values
