--- Comment #8 from Rob <[email protected]> ---
I have just more or less given up on this issue, given.

In my opinion the whole thing is caused by having 2 means of selecting:

1- In the text: Empty & Not Empty
These selections do not have any mark that either of them is selected

2- The tick boxes 
The tick boxes miss <empty>. <empty> should match any field being empty (null),
one or more spaces
To describe as regexp: "$ *#"

The solution to the problems would be:

A- Make the set of tick-boxes complete-
We could discuss if empty is the same as "1 or more spaces" as Excel does it,
or that <empty> and <spaces> should be separate tick boxes

B- Take away the text selections completely OR
as a 'service' to the user leave them, but mark the appropriate tick boxes. 

Any selection should untick 'all'


This way the folowing scenarios will be implemented:
-Ticking 'all' would mark all tick boxes and effectively switch off selection
-Ticking 'all' and unticking <empty> would be the same as "Not empty"
-Unticking 'all' and ticking <empty> would be the same as "Empty"

I hope all the issues regarding this are going to be resolved, so that all 10
or so issues which looked up and documented before can be put to rest.
