When an autofilter is used in a table (natively created with ms excel and saved as xls) then Calc correctly applies AND highlights the *used* filter (colors the normally black arrow into blue). If you then change the filter using Calc and save the file as XLS, reopening in calc correctly *applies* the formerly defined filter, but does not longer *highlight* which filters are used. This is very annoying, especially when many columns contain filters.
Created attachment 96090 [details] AutoFilter natively set with MS Excel.
Created attachment 96091 [details] AutoFilter changed with Calc, saved as XLS.
Created attachment 96092 [details] A screenshot of the missing filter highlighting.
MS Excel *correctly* applies and highlights the AutoFilter changed by Calc.
reproducible with LO 4.2.2.1 (Win 8.1)
reproducible with LO 4.2.6 and 4.3.2 (Win 7 x64)
Anyway it's not correctly applied if we resave file in comment 1 as XLS. Hit the dropdown arrow and we can see all numbers (from 1 to 5) checked. What is displayed (4 only) is incorrect. Tested with LO 4.2.7.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86
Same behavior in LO 3.5.7.2. Not sure about older release, UI is different in LO 3.3.0.4.
I can reproduce it under Win8.1x64 using LibO 4.3.3.2 and 4.5.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: f20043a0805c3a75eb4024ed59f45291aea93ac0 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-12-03_01:16:50 Locale: it_IT moving it to mab4.3 list since 4.2.x is EOL
I can confirm issue still exists today for LO on Ubuntu 14.04, LO Version: 4.4.5.2, Build ID: 40m0(Build:2).
Still an issue in 5.2.0.4

retestet with: Version: 6.1.3.2 Build-ID: 1:6.1.3-2 CPU-Threads: 2; BS: Linux 4.18; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: x11; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded and Version: 6.0.6.2 (x64) Build-ID: 0c292870b25a325b5ed35f6b45599d2ea4458e77 CPU-Threads: 16; BS: Windows 6.1; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group => problem still exists in both cases
Started from 3.5 when AutoFilter was improved to include multiple values. Repro 6.3+. Even worse with XLSX.
retestet with: Version: 7.0.4.2 Build ID: 00(Build:2) CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 5.10; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); UI: de-DE Debian package version: 1:7.0.4-4+deb11u4 Calc: threaded => problem still exists
I can reproduce it in: Version: 7.0.4.2 (x86) Build ID: dcf040e67528d9187c66b2379df5ea4407429775 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (es_AR); UI: en-US Calc: CL ...but not in: Version: 7.4.6.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5b1f5509c2decdade7fda905e3e1429a67acd63d CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19044; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (es_AR); UI: en-US Calc: CL I have not tested versions in between. To be clear, if I open attachment 96090 [details] with LO 7.0.4.2, change the filtered values and save it (with a different name), close everything and then I open the newly saved xls file with either LO 7.0.4.2 or with LO 7.4.6.2, then it will still show the autofilter arrow in the original black color, and new filtered values will be shown as expected. If, instead, the whole procedure is performed by LO 7.4.6.2, then not only the filtered values are shown as expected but the filter arrow is shown in blue, as expected. Lastly, repeating the procedure in LO 7.4.6.2 from the original xls but saving in xlsx with modified filtered values also resulted in the same expected results. Thus, this seems to be WFM as of 7.4. Ideally, the original reported should try to confirm this by using an updated version of LO if possible, after patiently waiting for 9 years and updating this report to see this happening. To the original reporter: I am setting the report to NEEDINFO. Please set to WORKSFORME if you are able to confirm with a newer version, or to NEW if it still doesn't work for you in a newer (maintained) version.
