            Bug ID: 121813
           Summary: AutoFilter selecting Yes/No has the same effect
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: grofaty at hotmail.com

Description:
Using AutoFilter's option when ever Yes or No is selected from dialog, the same
action is executed.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create simple file with two columns and few data or open attached
samplle.ods document.
2. Click in A1 cell.
3. From toolbar click on AutoFilter icon or select Data | AutoFilter option
from menu.
4. Dialog is displayed: "The range does not contain column headers. Do you want
the first line to be used as column header?"
5. Select "Yes" and autofilter appears.

Now close down the document and do not save and repeat above steps, but in last
step select "No" and the result is the same "autofilter appears.

Actual Results:
What ever is selected Yes or No, the effect is the same, autofilter appears.

Expected Results:
I actually do not understand this dialog at all and I would completely remove
the dialog and just do the autofilter.

But if you decide you keep this dialog, then at least make it in a way that
Yes/No do not produce the same result. Probably No should not turn on
autofilter at all, I see it more like Cancel.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
I would suggest to completely remove this dialog, because I just don't see any
sense in it and it just nags me non-stop. AutoFilter is simple to turn on and
off just by selecting AutoFilter icon from toolbar or even Undo works to
disable AutoFilter, so I see no reason to have this dialog at all.

Another tiny comment. Yes/No dialogs are very user unfriendly. You force the
user to read whole text. If you decide to keep the dialog then at least change
buttons from "Yes" to "OK" and from "No" to "Cancel", to be consistent with
Data | Pivot Table | Create menu selection and spare some time users do not
need to read the text on dialog.
