Created attachment 169395 [details] Example file from Calc with autofilter and standard filter When creating a standard filter in Calc there is zero visual indication that it is set on a cell range, apart from hidden rows. Autofilter displays a dropdown in the header cells and the same would be desirable for standard filter as well. This happens only with standard filter set from menu Data – More filters – Standard Filter. Enabling autofilter first then selecting Standard Filter from its dropdown creates the same filtering, but the dropdown menu stays there. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open attached file Actual results: On the first sheet there is an autofilter set which is indicated by a dropdown menu in the cells. On the second sheet there is a standard filter and nothing indicates it. Expected results: On the second sheet the filtered columns should have a dropdown menu. Also as requested in bug #89841 a bit more: such as filtered rows should have blue number.

I've already tried to solve it here ( Bug 119958 ). I see a problem here too, the checkbox should be in the menu when the standard filter is set, because the visible parameters of setiings of the standard or automatic filter may not be the same (excuse my english).

I'm not sure that it is a bug, they are different filters, icons are always for autofilter, and not possible to modify the standard filter with autofilter selections, it must be modified through the standard filter, even accessing to it through the autofilter.

Therefore, i think, the checkbox should be displayed (in all columns with an automatic filter)in the menu of automatic filter before the Standard Filter option when the standard filter is applied . And for better identification also directly in the menu Data -> More Filters -> Standard Filter.
Duplicates bug 125857, which is only about pivot tables but applies to all data.

A tick box in the menu (just like for AutoFilter) is a first step, but some indication on the spreadsheet would be welcome too (small icon overlay, like for comments? with a border highlighting the filtered range?)
