I believe that I have figured out at least a piece of this puzzle. I have a similar set of view bar filter settings and have seen the same issue. What I figured out tonight was that the cause is a "hard" flag set on a completed action. If I view the completed actions and then manually remove the hard flags, then the empty project disappears from the view. It appears that the view bar settings are acting like "remaining" OR "flagged" rather than "remaining" AND "flagged".
