I'm unfamiliar with the Data->Filter menu.  Anything you can
contribute would be helpful.  Something as simple as adding menu

Please submit a bug for this.  The scrollbar sizing code needs to be
revamped at some point to measure things in pixels rather than
rows/cols, we can clean this then.

interesting project for someone.
