Created attachment 43867 [details] example file to demonstrate slow filter If table contains thousands of string then standart filter works to very slow in LibreOffice-3.3.0 and LibreOffice-3.3.1. (this bug was tested by me on linux-x86-64, but it's need to verify on other os) 1. Open attached file "qwedasr.ods" (this file was sent me by another man) 2. choose second row "val" and aplay "standart filter" (Data -> Filter -> Standart Filter) by setting [val < -500]. Note that it takes about few seconds (on my system it's about 3 seconds [amd phenom II X4 955 (3.2 GHz), 4GB ram]). 3. Now (or you can do it first instead of item 2 of descrition) select the same row "val" and aplay "standart filter" (Data -> Filter -> Standart Filter) by setting [val > -100]. Note that time of filtering takes few second again (on my system it's about 7-10 sec.). Such time results are very strange as in OpenOffice-3.2.1 and -3.3.0 such filtering works instantly. testing system configuration: Linux 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 955 Processor 4 Gb RAM installed versions: app-office/libreoffice-bin-3.3.0(-r1) app-office/libreoffice-bin-3.3.1
I can reproduce this in 3.3.1 build, but not in master build. This will be fixed in 3.4.
