The patch isn't applying for me on latest dev. Might need a re-roll?

A cell that contains a value "0" is considered empty. In "real life" it is perfectly possible a cell contains the value zero and should be rendered.

See below images of a table that contains zero in a cell, before and after the patch.

Furthermore,

  • the behavior of shifting cells to different columns is likely to be undesirable, even if empty
  • the change should not affect existing tables, it should be optional as a Display setting.

This one is a bit of scary treatment of empty cells. There are legitimate cases where an empty cell is the desired output.
This would be an anti-pattern to tables in spreadsheets and word processors. In spreadsheets and word processors if you remove the value from a cell, it keeps the position of the empty cell. It does not restructure the row or column. This could have unexpected and disastrous results to the content.
