I have several users, also heavily complaining about the new
AutoFilter. In fact, for the very most use cases the new AutoFilter
is much more time consuming than it was before.

Unfortunately I do not have the time and skills to start a serious
initiative for reintroducing the old version of AutoFilter.

Is anyone around who follows the opinion on the new AutoFilter and
is able and willing to file a bug and promote an improvement by
reconstituting the well-proven old version of AutoFilter?

...or at least forward this to the appropriate mailing list, if this
should be wrong here. ;-)

Thanks,

Stefan
