Blog Widget with empty collection shows random books

When creating a Blog Widget with selecting a collection it gives you random books from you library if the selected collection is empty. If you add a book to that collection then only that book is shown on the widget.

I have three collections: Currently Reading, To Read and Your Library. I'm using three widgets on my webpage and if the To Read collection is empty as it sometimes is it just shows random books. The LT webpage shows the collection empty if it is empty. Just the widget is acting strange.

This maybe an old issue but didn't find it.

It seems that now the issue with "widget for an empty collection showing random collection of books" has come up again just like it previously was reported. Is it intentional or just regression?
