I noticed it just now, but then I checked previous version (prerel20) and it has the same problem. I don't have prerel13 now (which I had used before), but if I can find it I will check with that version, too.
 
The problems:
1. When I change one of the subitems color (from "none" to "orange") in one of my grids (let's call it grid #1), and then filter for that color, and then turn the filter off (so I am back to "unfiltered" view), the color disappears, but it comes back after refreshing. But I have encountered yet more serious problem.
 
2. In another grid (let's call it grid #2) -- filtering for colors doesn't work for subitems. When I  changed the color of any subitem (from "none" to "orange") and then filter for that color -- nothing happens. All other filters and hoisting are turned off, and the grid has as far as I could tell, the same setting as the grid #1 (same "fulle hierarchy, none of any other filters and no hoisting). I used "repair" with no success.
 
Thanks

This is a known problem : mantis 424.
 
It seems that this is the same one you described. Isn't it ? It (usually?) happens when there's only one sub in the hierarchy -- is it the case ?

I can't reproduce the problem.
 
A few questions :
 
-  Do you use column filters or the source bar filter (text box) ?
 
-  if you use the text box filter, what is your complete filter syntax ?
 
 
With all other filters off (date, alphanumeric, columns) filter request should be :
 
itemcolor like "orange"

 You're right. When I added another item to the parent, everything was all right.
 
 
Update --> sorry (silly me) I know what happened. Those subitems didn't meet the grid source.
 
Thanks,

that's the challenge of filtering
why I dont use it much to be honest with you - or I should say: I use it only in situations where I'm working with/filtering top-level-items (i.e. which meet grid source)

Hopefully, Pierre will chime in... But something that will help us tremendously with filtering is coming.
 
As an aside, concerning filtering issues : that's why I use that source strategy where I have a field that's inherited by all items in the grid (described at least here : http://www.sqlnotes.net/drupal5/index.php?q=node/729#comment-2550) so that all items (whether they are subs or not) always meet part of the source [added 2010 04 19 -- 17 10]. The down side is that it affects performance... The upsides are more important to me at the moment though...! (Note that I wouldn't advice anyone anymore to use that strategy : the coming changes should render it almost useless...)
