--- Comment #4 from Mirosław Zalewski <[email protected]> ---
There are detailed steps to reproduce:

1. Open new text document
2. From menu: View → Data sources
3. In upper part of window, select "biblio" table
4. Set standard filter to Author = 'Gris, Myriam'
4a. Five rows will remain, identifiers GRM00 to GRM04
5. From menu: Insert → Fields → Other...
6. In Database tab, select Mail Merge fields on left, Bibliography → biblio →
Identifier on right; Insert. Close this window.
7. From menu: Tools → Mail Merge Wizard...
8. Go directly to step 6 ("Edit document").

Result:
Identifier field on document will change to "ARJ00", which is NOT visible in
Data Sources table. You can cycle through all 20 default biblio table entries.

Expected result:
mail merge wizard should take filter into consideration and work only on rows
matching filter settings (that are shown in Data Sources table).

Yes, I know, expected behavior is arguable (should filter just help finding
matching data or actually change a range on which mail merge works?). But this
is what original reporter expects. I also got personal message from other user
who also finds current behavior broken.

This is in no way related with 50800 mentioned earlier. That one is about Base
queries, this one is about Mail Merge in Writer.

I could reproduce it on 3.6.5, Debian testing amd64; therefore I mark this as
NEW and change OS setting. I also lower importance to comply with
