Bug ID: 118875
Summary: Mail Merge toolbar appears in wrong document after
using Mail Merge Wizard and choosing something other
than the current document
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.1.0.1 rc
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: domi...@dwalden.co.uk
Description:
If I use the Mail Merge Wizard and on the first page ("Select starting
document...") I choose something other than "Use current document" (e.g.
"Create a new document"), the Mail Merge toolbar will appear in the current
document but not in the new document which the Wizard will create.
It is more useful to have the toolbar in the new document as that will have the
mail merge fields in it. The current document may have nothing of use in it.
As I am not aware of any way to access the Mail Merge Wizard without first
creating a new document (correct me if I am wrong) users may hit this problem
often.
On the other hand, the workaround is fairly straightforward, just click View >
Toolbars > Mail Merge. So setting to Minor, but change if you want.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new Writer document (which will be called something like "Untitled
1").
2. Tools > Mail Merge Wizard.
3. Tick the radio button "Create a new document". Click Next.
4. You can go through the rest of the Wizard and add whatever Address Blocks
and Salutations you like, or click Finish straight away, it is reproducible
either way.
(You can also reproduce by choosing another option in step 3, e.g. "Start from
existing document")
Actual Results:
Once you have finished the Wizard, a new document called something like
"Untitled 2" will be created, but it will not have the Mail Merge toolbar.
Instead, the document you created in step 1 ("Untitled 1") will have the
toolbar.
Expected Results:
The new document ("Untitled 2") which was created by the Wizard should have the
toolbar instead.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
