More on Filtering.

Applying a filter selects the appropriate layers but any pre-existing visible layers remain on the drawing area.  Toggling the filtered selection then only applies to the limited selection with the pre-exiting entities untouched and I believe this is how it is meant to work?  Consequently, to only see a filtered group of layers it is first necessary to hide all layers, then filter, then unhide all which will only unhide the filtered layers.

The only problem I have encountered so far is that from time to time LibreCAD appears to lock into the filter so that even when the filter command line is empty (using the deletion cross) the drawing is still filtered.  I have overcome this by filtering on "*" which selects everything and brings back all layers to view.
