I don't like to enforce my bias in here yet. But instead I would like to further clarify my concern. That is, the new work flow for this selection filter seem to have some trivial issues. Let me do some comparison:

In Version 4.0.7:
A1) Drag the mouse to selection a group of items
A2) Hit Enter key (To apply the current filter setting)
Therefore, this require 1 dragging, and 1 key

In Version 5.x:
B1) Drag the mouse to selection a group of items
B2) Right click the mouse
B3) Looking for the Selection item in the drop down menu (It not always on the same spot)
B4) Move the mouse to Selection item, click mouse
B5) Move the mouse to Filter item, click mouse
B6) Now hit Enter key
Therefore, this require ~4 mouse movements, 1 eye searching, 1 key

I hope no one would do this if they had actually test the usability of this feature.
