Description Dani Megert

Smoke For 20020508 (build 20020502 + exported plug-ins)

I would expect to see all elements either 
- if all buttons are checked
or
- if all are unchecked but not when there's a mix

Note that even after the change we are still inconsistent with the Debugger:
they initially disable the filters while we enable them.

yes, this is wrong
some buttons work as filters, some not

we will get new artwork for the public filter to emphasize the fact that it is 
a filter.

is it really an artwork problem?
i think it is simply a bad idea to mix filter and non-filter buttons.
it actually bit be 3 times just today.

Agree with Adam. It's not just artwork. And the fact that the tool tips are no
longer dynamic make it even worse.

Make it least consistent. The sort button is dynamic, the others are not.

To add, it's not good to mix methods- and field filters. I can only see a 
static main method if i choose to show static members. But now i also see 
static fields, which i don't want.
The old behaviour was good. Why change it?

I agree that the old behavior was more intuitive.
please bring it back
