p-table: A table with the LazyLoad=true and a filter for type "text" can leave its filter property value to "" instead of the expected null

[AIO1]

Describe the bug

It seems that there is a way to change the expected value for "text" filter type.
If at start, we load a table with lazy load, the columns which have a filter of type text will have the following in "value":

If we now try to filter by something we will see the value there:

If we now delete the "a" (we don't need to hit apply, by some reason it seems that it automatically applies if textbox is empty) from the dropdown we will see the following:

It was expected for it to be null again instead of "".
