Data Validation

Note observe the ignore blank checkbox, it is unmarked
And

I am able to create the Drop List and select any value from it. Until here all is ok.
- If in that cell I press the
backspacekey (deleting all the data) and thenenterkey is pressed I receive the expected error message

Until here all works how is expected
Problem
- I can select other value from the list, but if later the
deleteorsuprkey is used, deleting all the data, andenterkey is pressed the cell pass to be empty, thus the validation has failed. No error message arises. I can confirm through other cell and using thelenfunction it shows0, and in other cell using thecountblankshows1thus is empty.
Why the validation works how is expected with the cell without data throughbackspaceand not throughdelete/supr?
How can I fix this situation?
Note: just in case, this situation exists even if in-cell dropdown is unmarked
