In contrast to the filter mode, with caseless matching you would *see* that it behaves differently. And you see which item will get printed. This is the reason I suggest, that in filter mode you should also *see* which items will get printed. In filter mode the highlighting in the list has no more meaning (if I understood correctly). IMO the highlighting should keep its meaning, being: Each highlighted item will be printed. meillo
