Description:
When selecting from a table containing empty (meaning '') and NULL (meaning non existing) values, one cannot distinguish between those two occurences because the Data Browser does not indicate NULL field values.

How to repeat:
Just select from a table containung empty and NULL values

Suggested fix:
Display NULL values like '[NULL]'
