Description Abyss 2014-12-17 06:00:30 UTC

When I open the menu item "Configure filters..." the dialog always contains empty filter with the name "unknown". Even if I delete it, it appears again. I don't have any other filters. Also I want to provide screenshot, but don't know how to do that.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open "Configure filters..."
2. Look at the filters panel on the left.

Actual Results:  
There is "unknown" empty filter

Expected Results:  
Empty panel

What is the problem with it ?
It's disable so it's not a problem ?

I'm surprised with a question. First of all - it's ugly and unaesthetic. Then I suggest that it causes a Mail Filter Agent to make a run. And sometimes it gets stuck: there is a plenty of bugs about Mail Filter Agent sticking on 0%. I may find them and link there if it does matter.

As I can see in code there is a reason:
"
    // create an empty filter when there's none, to avoid a completely
    // disabled dialog (usability tests indicated that the new-filter
    // button is too hard to find that way):
"
