If the display filter entry is out of focus, the current code starts a new filter when you start typing. Should we set the insertion point to the end of the filter instead, so that typing appends to the current filter?

Hmm.. It probably depends on personal preference. Mine is to start at the end of the current filter so I can add to it or backspace over the existing one.
Please don't add another preference setting for this, we already have too much of them.

Simply appending at the end seems to be more "natural" to me.
