The following testcase shows incorrect initial screen-value:

define frame fr with size 70 by 20.
define button btn.
define var txt as char format "b9" view-as fill-in.

display txt btn with frame fr.
enable txt btn with frame fr.

on choose of btn do:
    txt:screen-value = "3". // also try with "" instead of "3" 
end.

// compare to string("3", "b9").
// compare to string("", "b9").
// compare to display "3" format "b9" with frame fr.
// compare to display "" format "b9" with frame fr.

wait-for close of default-window.

In some scenarios (#5421 and #5787), a formatted empty string shouldn't display the fill chars. However, the test above displays the fill chars, even if the formatted string is empty.
