Problem with filters on Thunderbird

I updated several filters on Thunderbird and my account went "crazy" and moved All mail out of my inbox. After digging for a while I found that when I added a filter on a domain (domain ends with) I accidentally added another line that had a blank (or null) entry. This seemed to match every message and lots of messages were moved. Can you add code that deletes or ignores these entries?

Also trying to run this down in the filter log was irritating. Can you have an option to see most recent filter applications first. Would make it easier to debug. I can live with a large log taking a long time to load but having TO Page down hundreds of times is an issue. Another option would be Go to end
