Description mark.g.j.christiaens 2018-05-01 13:25:59 UTC
Description:
I performed a mail merge to generate some labels and one of the labels is missing.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a spreadsheet with 26 rows (and a heading)
2. Create a database that uses the spreadsheet as source data
3. Register the database
4. Create a document holding 24 labels.  In every label, insert some data base fields and a "next record" field to move forward to the next record in the database.
5. Print the document with labels.  LibreOffice will ask whether we want to do a mail merge.
6. Say yes and mail merge to a new ODT document



Actual Results:  
The result will be a ODT document that has labels for all the records in the spreadsheet except one: the label that should come right after the first page is skipped.

Expected Results:
All 26 labels should be generated.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Can you test with a daily appimage build? https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage
Just set the appimage file to be executable and run it.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
