The Navigator lists all the item categories with the same visual intensity even for the ones with zero instances in the current document. Perhaps we could gray out the icon + text for the empty categories.

+1 from me
+1, and if straight forward to implement a nice visual UX tweak at LibreOffice 7
Disabled means not usable in the current situation. But I've never seen a tree's root node disabled if without children. Makes not much sense to me. OTOH, hiding until it has content might be an option. Better? Good? Figure 5 in https://design.blog.documentfoundation.org/2016/07/31/how-the-navigator-may-support-object-handling-in-libreoffice-draw/ is my take.
I'm against hiding. Now it's a nice overview which node types exists.

Thomas was simply objecting to Heiko's proposal to hide the nodes. Thus, Thomas is of the same opinion as the comments that gave birth to this report.
Overall agreement to disabling empty root nodes, let's do it.
