This report is about how to use the Reset menu entry and potential improvements
to it. There seem to be some inconsistencies (and potential improvements) in
its usage. Other changes are not desired unless specific useful (not just
hypothetical) cases are presented. The current usage of sort/filter are not
part of this report.

Actual results:
* "Reset" can be used on selected area - this is useful.
* "Reset" acts only once, or none.
* "Clear" button in Standard Filter resets everything.

Expected results:
* Multiple uses of "Reset" should be possible, depending on the selected range.

Alternative:
* If the current usage/consequences are not what they were supposed to be, then
improve the way in which the couple, "Reset" menu entry and "Clear" button (in
Standard Filter), are really supposed to work in order to either reset partial
ranges or the complete filter, according to users' desires. It is preferable to
make all this work in a user-friendly manner, as changing these procedures can
be confusing to users that already use them.


After resolving the adequate steps and usage, better documentation is needed.
