Since developer Deena P.F. fixed the missing Blank item in Autofilter (see bug #65505) it no longer makes sense to have the two additional menu options Empty and Not Empty. Checking and unchecking the Blank item already performs those two functions (with advantage) so the menu entries can safely be removed.
Yes - but let's wait until the patch for bug 65505 is really included and confirmed.
I agree. Explained in Comment #29 on Bug 65505.
Any plan to fix this? The patch to bug 65505 works perfect in 5.0.* build.
(In reply to Kevin Suo from comment #3) Actually the options Empty and Not Empty are confict with the Blank item checkbox. Steps to observe: 1. Open the attached document; 2. Set autofiler and select Not Empty. --> Not Empty result are shown as expected, but when you now open the drop down list, you will see that the Blank item checkbox is marked. (At this point we expect the non-empty item checkboxes are marked)
The new item "(empty)" in the lower part and the item "Empty" in the upper part have different semantics. The new item "(empty)" in the lower part is true on empty cells _and_ on cells with an empty string. The item "Empty" in the upper part is only true for empty cells. I have tested with Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 88c51cd55d1a9b29e62269c53b3923770253ab07 TinderBox: Win-x86@62-merge-TDF, Branch:MASTER, Time: 2015-09-11_13:09:15 Locale: de-DE (de_DE)

Created attachment 138747 [details] Test for "empty" Set a filter on column C and examine the behavior. An empty cell is <table:table-cell/> in file format. An empty string is <table:table-cell office:value-type="string" calcext:value-type="string"> <text:p/> </table:table-cell> in file format. You can have an empty string as result of a formula, e.g. ="". You can never have an empty cell as result of a formula, because the cell content is a formula and therefore the cell is not empty.
