--- Comment #9 from Joel Madero <jmadero....@gmail.com> ---
My test system:
Bodhi 2 (built on Ubuntu 12.04) x64
LibreOffice 4.2.6 rc

Confirmed (see notes below)
New - confirmed
Minor - can slow down professional quality work but will not prevent it
Low - the workaround is pretty straight forward (select not empty)

Assuming the last is "attempt to filter for "aaa" AND "bbb" not or (or works
fine if you select just one as that's just step 1 and 2 above)

Not a fan of graying out anything, you do it once or twice and you learn how to
workaround it. It's a pretty small issue but an issue none the less.

Changing title to better reflect the issue as this isn't dependent on only one
category existing, it's if you select all categories available (whether that is
one or ten) then "all" is automatically ticked.
