@UX team, should the items in the dropdown list be greyed out if the list of templated is empty ?

Lo doesn't have Calc and Draw templates from box. Of course we have an empty list

But I like Xisco's idea about grayed items as it made Jim for Navigator

Clearly not a bug, you just have to add templates for these modules. But we should also aim for sane defaults and add at least one example. 

I totally disagree to grey-out those items that are filtered. Might be common on macOS (file dialog still shows all files when you select a certain extension like *.odt but greyed out) but this behavior is wrong in my opinion and uncommon on other platforms.
