The Mail Merge Wizard create the document in background when you select to load a previous document or a template in step 1. This causes a crash if you exit the Mail Merge Wizard before completion. I think it's because the document is loaded in background when you close the wizard. STEPS: *Tools -> Mail Merge Wizard *Start from existing document/Start from template *Select the document/template and click next *Close the wizard pressing cancel or the X button Notice how the document is created before the completion of the wizard. Expected Behaviour: The document/template is loaded after the completion of the wizard.

No, probably not, seeing as the fix for master in bug 97501 went in in February
This one exists in master right now, so this is unfixed
