That's originally what I have (without mask), the non-whitespace check is not performed by validwhen. I wasn't sure if I can use validwhen together with mask. I was able to use validwhen in conjunction with email validator though.

Taking out the mask will probably fix your problem, but I'm not sure if validwhen's != null test will account for whitespaces, it is probably easiest to just take out the mask and see what happens.
