Saved filters are one-shot only (no refining, no persistence)

[Olivier Dony (Odoo)]

In OpenERP 6.0 it was possible to combine saved filters with normal search criteria, for example by selecting a filter first and then filling in some further search fields. This was particularly useful for drilling-down or having a "base" filter that you refine every time you use it, e.g. if you work partner by partner.
Another common case is to switch to the form view of a record, edit it, and then switch back to the list view, with the filter still applied, in order to choose the next record to edit.

Both of the above cases are not possible currently in 6.1, because the "saved filter" seems to be discarded immediately after being used the first time.

This is an important usability issue, and could be seen as a very annoying regression. (Also you can't simply open each record in a new tab to edit it, as there is no 'edit' link that could be "opened in a new tab", so it seems there is no workaround)

I hope this description is clear enough...

(Raising importance, as this is a blocking usability issue for most users)

Can't assume so fast it is a bug, need further discussion.
