Synopsis: Not all preferences match after removing filter in Preferences Flat view

Description
1. Start estudio and open Preferences window.  Comes up in Tree View and says
569 preferences.  Switch to Flat View.  Type filter "xxx".  Correctly says
"0 matches of 569 total preferences".  Now remove the filter by using
Backspace key.  Says "494 matches of 569 total preferences".
If the filter is empty, all the preferences should match.

2. If only one preference matches, says "1 matches of 569 total preferences"
but should say "1 match" (singular).

Item 2 (show "1 match" instead of "1 matches") is fixed in 6.2.73753.

Item 1 (confusion over what "all preferences" means, since it excludes hidden
preferences) is still unresolved, though it isn't exactly a bug.  Perhaps
hidden preferences should not be included in the count of preferences since
they are hidden.

This is because when matching, the hidden preferences are omitted from the match.  Not sure if this is a bug or not but it can be misleading as the total number of preferences bares not relation to the number of viewable preferences.
