"Suppress when Previous Data Source" is not the same as "When Previous Data Source is Blank"

Hello,

I have a rather weird issue, I am trying to use the Suppression transform on a few data sources but when using the "Suppress when following expressions are true" option I cannot seem to get the correct result, when using the premade option of "Suppress when previous data source is empty" it works...

But when adding "When Previous data source is blank" alongside some other expressions this does not have the same effect, after taking a look in the Text View of the expressions I've seen that "Is Blank" actually writes as "Is Null or Empty" but I have now tried numerous times and it just will not work.

For context I am using Bartender 2016 R8 on Windows 10

And just to make sure I'm not going crazy, first screenshot shows the premade option working and the second shows the group of expressions not working.

Thanks!

  I no longer have access to 2016 but seem to recall something similar a while back in a label I was creating where I had a complex/multi-line suppression/printing process to this. 

  Have you tried naming the the string to suppress and instead of using the Previous option, set it to suppress when the named data  source is empty?

  You may want to double check that it is actually that suppression line that has the issue and not one of the previous ones.
