After manually deleting an active display filter with backspace characters the
display filter text entry box will display the prompting text "Apply a display
filter ..." implying that there is no active filter.  But the previous display
filter is in fact still in effect.  There will be no display filter widget [X]
available to clear the now phantom display filter.

The phantom display filter can be cleared by pressing the ENTER key while focus
is the display filter or by clicking on the Arrow widget located at the right
end of the text entry box.

This behavior was seen while confirming how to replicate issue reported in Bug
11890.  This behavior is similar to resolved issue reported in Bug 11713.

Should the display filter's [X] widget remain visible as long as a display
filter is in effect even after the contents of the text entry field has been
manually cleared but has not yet applied?
