    Description

      I run this script:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
      CREATE TABLE `t1` (
        `p_mfgr` char(6) DEFAULT NULL
      ) ENGINE=Columnstore DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
      INSERT INTO `t1` VALUES ('MFGR#1');
      select p_mfgr from t1 where p_mfgr <='MFGR#1' or p_mfgr is null;
      select p_mfgr from t1 where p_mfgr <='MFGR#1' or p_mfgr is null;
      

      The first SELECT returns one row. The second select returns no rows.

      The bug was revealed after recent collation-aware comparison changes, and most likely after this commit:

          Part#1 MCOL-495 Make string comparison not case sensitive
          
          Fixing field='str' for long (Dict) string data types.
      

      The bug has been in the code for some time and it was not introduced by the collation-aware comparison changes. But these changes helped to reveal this bug.

      This patch fixes the problem.
