--- Comment #1 from Mike Kaganski <mikekaganski at hotmail.com> ---
Some background:

When opening a CSV, the filter settings used when opening the file are kept in
memory, and used when writing back using simple "Save", thus keeping original
tabs. Autorecovery save cannot use CSV for storage: it's unknown in advance if
user would finally save as CSV (losing all formatting, e.g. column widths), or
decide to save into a rich format like ODS; so LO should use the format capable
to store all the data, i.e. ODS. But in autorecovery ODS, the SCV filter data
is not stored; thus when opening the crashed file later, reading its contents
from the ODS, does not restore the filter settings.

Possibly it would be worth to store arbitrary filter settings data in the
autorecovery ODS in some custom XML (base64-encoded where necessary). That
would not break compatibility, and would not require changing ODF standard.

Setting to NEW.
