ng-show expression evaluates to false when passed "f" or "F"

[blown-capacitor]

For example assuming $scope.mystring = "F";

<div ng-show="mystring">{{mystring}}</div>

The div is hidden by the ng-show directive.

Note you can achieve desired functionality using .length <div ng-show="mystring.length"></div>

This is currently expected behavior, as documented: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngShow
