Description Bruno Koeferli

2011-08-24 05:38:00 EDT

Build Identifier: 3.7.0

In ColumnFilter exists a default entry "Empty" which stands for empty values. But a visual empty column value (f.e. an empty string "") is not considered by this filter entry and leads to an extra entry in the ColumnFilter list.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Build a table with at least one visible column
2. Ensure the table is filled with data (null values and visual empty values)
3. Open/activate ColumnFilter dialog

Fixed by handling empty strings and s.trim().length()==0 the same way as null.
