Description

At the moment, when a given tasks returns no tasks (because the backlog is empty), newcomers can still select the checkbox. The idea would be to disable the checkboxes when the backlog is empty so that newcomers won't think it is a bug.

It could be nice to add an explanation why the checkbox is disabled:

If topic filters are used, maybe we should use this message to encourage users to expand their selection.

Checking whether there are any tasks for a given combination of tasks/topics takes a hundred milliseconds or so (and it starts when the user clicks). In the end the behavior would probably end up more confusing, IMO (on top of being more complex to handle).
