I've created following list and disabled the filtering with 'use_filter_show = False'.
I would expect that the plus sign is not visible anymore, but it is.

class SCENE_UL_ds_effect_collection(bpy.types.UIList):
    
    def draw_item(self, context, layout, data, item, icon, active_data, active_propname):
        self.use_filter_show = False
        ob = data
        if self.layout_type in {'DEFAULT', 'COMPACT'}:
            if item:
                layout.prop(item, "name", text="", emboss=False)
            else:
                layout.label(text="", translate=False)
        elif self.layout_type in {'GRID'}:
            layout.alignment = 'CENTER'
            layout.label(text="", icon_value=icon)

![pasted_file](https://archive.blender.org/developer/F139773/pasted_file) I've created following list and disabled the filtering with 'use_filter_show = False'.

Thanks for the report, but actually, absolutely no bug here. use_filter_show is a status flag, not a 'behavior-controll' one, it just controls whether 'options' part of UIList are shown or not.

So, setting it to False in draw code just prevents it to ever open, but does not control the possibility to open it or not…

I don't agree with the "absolutely no bug here". Its at least a usability and interface bug. If the button is doing nothing, it should be grayed out and non-clickable or removed.

Please do not reopen tasks yourself, especially when you do not understand it. There is no bug here, things work exactly as expected, and fyi the button is never doing nothing…

@mont29, but we should at least try to give a proper explaination if the author of a report doesn't understand why we close it, right? ;)

Please note that we don't accept things like usability or interface bugs in our bug tracker. In our definition a bug is something that should work regarding the code, but that is broken in certain scenarios. What you report is considered as a design issue from us. For such things the best place to report this is our bf-interface mailing list (but please wait for a further explanation from @mont29 in this case).

@JulianEisel already explained more to author (@hapit, not @jerryno, btw) on irc few hours ago… I really do not understand the issue here anyway, this button is exactly like the 'expand/hide' ones of panels e.g., nothing else to explain, really trivial…

Ah, oki, should be fine then.

@jerryno, do you now understand what Batien means?
