Situation: * In Excel (2010) I had a sheet with Data Filter on the header row. * I had clicked open from one cell the filter menu (via the dropdown button in that cell). * In the long list I was ticking off an enormous amount of items that were not of interest to me. * During that a micro break occurred. * At that moment the Data Filter menu of the cell disappeared and _all_ my work of unticking items was lost! Can this be changed such that when the break has finished, submenus like these remain untouched and that I can continue working after the break where I left? Regards, Walter.

B.t.w. I have set Importance to 'major' because this way one can loose quite some work, as I did.

Not sure if I can much about it. I investigated this problem before. It seems Windows closes popup windows the focus changes to another application. I guess your excel filter menu will also close when you open the start menu for example. Perhaps I can check if a popup window is open and delay the break... Will have a look.
