Slightly odd behaviour with the filter dialogue

This refers to tellico-3.5.1 under Fedora38 Linux
I have recently been in OCD heaven sorting and re-cataloging my
collection of around 1,500 classical CDs, and have noticed some strange
behaviour.
Since my CDs are ripped to a storage device and played on a network
music player, they are stored in boxes in a cupboard. I added a new
field "box" to the collection, so I would be able to find a physical CD
if needed. It is defined to be of type "Number".
I bring up the filter dialogue and select "Box" and "equals" - I wanted
to find any entries that haven't been assigned a box number. So I leave
the value field empty. Problem is that the "OK" and "Apply" buttons are
not active.
However, I found by trial and error that if I change "Box" to something
else and back again, the buttons become active. Similarly if I change
"equals" to another condition and back again, the buttons become active.
The query then works as expected - I get a list of all CDs not assigned
a box number.
Not a big deal, and an easy workaround, but just not quite right somehow.
