Description

Using the rule-based symbols with several rules and an ELSE expression, If you, in the map canvas legend, set a rule "layer" to invisible, all it's features will then be represented with the ELSE Symbol.

Not sure if this is the expected behaviour. I would expect that those feature would simply became invisible.

Others, in this qgis-dev mailing list thread [0], seem to have the same opinion that this might not be the expected behaviour and that it should be fixed.

Additionally, Andreas Neumann suggested that another rule might/should be created allowing the user to have both behaviour [1], and Mathias Kuhn added some terminology [2]:

ELSE - invisible exception rule (features that match invisible rules stay invisible)
TRUE ELSE - disabled exception rule - (features that match invisible rules are rendered here)
