A hidden conflict of belief functions in the case where the sum of all multiples of conflicting belief masses being equal to zero was observed. To handle that, degrees of non-conflictness and full nonconflictness are defined. The family of these degrees of non-conflictness is analyzed, including its relation to full non-conflictness. Further, mutual non-conflictness between two belief functions accepting internal conflicts of individual belief functions are distinguished from global nonconflictness excluding both mutual conflict between belief functions and
also all internal conflicts of individual belief functions. Finally, both theoretical and computational issues are presented.
