Created attachment 99189 [details] screenshot of currently too narrow filter window Problem description: When there are entries in Calc cells with more than 20 characters the window is too narrow too see all characters of an entry. Thus, the entries cannot be differentiated Example is attached. Solution and enhancement request: Make the filter window expandable when needed. Ideally with the two lower corner as points to pull horizontally and vertically to allow a very quick optimization of the window size. Vertical expansion possibility goes beyond the problem description but a vertical adjustment allows the eye to quickly read up and down. Current size could be kept as default size; looks good to me. Operating System: All Version: 4.2.4.2 release
seems a valuable enhancement request. could you please upload a test spreadsheet where I can reproduce that issue in the screenshot? which are the exact menu steps you do to show that window?

@tommy27 - Reading the comments of Joel Madero I feel there is no need to provide an test file. Beside this my version is only 4.2.4.2.
