TB 155 & Folder Message Count: dash instead of nothing when the folder is empty

In TB prior to v.155, folder message counts were not shown at all if the respective folders were empty. That is, instead of showing "0", TB did not show anything.

Now, after updating to TB v.155.0.1, I see dashes (horizontal lines) in the folder tree to the right of each empty folder.

Is it possible to revert back to the original behaviour and get rid of those unsightly dashes? They only add visual clutter (my opinion, obviously) while not providing any extra information.

Thanks.

It is strange but suddenly, TB started showing "0" (again, _de facto_ unnecessary information) for one of the inboxes. Other empty folders are still with dashes.

Ah, I see, thanks.

But the original question still stands: can I get rid of those dashes so that no message count is shown for folders with no messages?
