2008Q2
The grid displays boolean column as check box, the filter on the column in on
(default), the filter checkbox is not checked - the grid displays all rows.
If the user checks the checkbox, the grid filters all rows that are also checked.
Now if the user clears the checkbox, the grid filters all rows that are
not checked. So far, so good.
The problem is, it's not intuitive for the user, since he has no visual clue,
that filtering is still active. (The UI looks the same as before the initial checking,
but the result is not the same.) Would be nice if the filter symbol would indicate
active filters, or how about a 3 state checkbox?

Hello Sandeep,
Thank you for writing.
We are going to entirely redesign the filtering feature for the next major release. We will also do our best to include your suggestion in it.

The issue is even bigger, when the application persists filter settings for example by saving the grid layout.
As a workaround I display a visual clue that indicates if there are any filters active and how many rows are actually filtered away from the visible result.
