[Qgis-developer] What does mean "empty tables" in "attribute table" item properties in a print composer?

[Junior Delaz]

Thanks Nyall. This is what I suspected.
Then, none of the "empty tables" options should work on the frames in the
example above, right?
But actually, "Draw empty cells" option does have effect on them. Isn't it
a bug?
