Created attachment 145124 [details] zip of writer file and base file Since v6, or at least 6.1.0.3, a hidden paragraph is always visible if it contains conditional text. This was not so in v5.4.7.2. The attachment contains a simple writer file (Test.odt) with 4 conditionally hidden paragraphs, the conditions relating to the data in Testdata.odb. To use mailmerge, the data source must be registered. Open Test.odt, make the data source visible and write one of the records to the fields in Test.odt If the first record (with "number" = 1) is written to the fields, paragraphs 1 and 3 should be hidden, but 3 remains visible . If the second record ("number" = 2) is written to the fields, paragraphs 2 and 4 should be hidden, but 4 remains visible. The hidden paragraphs always remain visible when there is further conditional text within the paragraph. This should not be so and was not so in previous versions.
Created attachment 145129 [details] test hidden paragraphs i can confirm the described behaviour with lo 6.1.1.2. i can not test with lo 5.4.7.2, cause i get an error after db register: missing sdbc driver for url 'sdbc:embedded:firebird' but i tried with Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 3a807c6d6176caaec83654204a2cca41e1be28ea CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: threaded and all paragraphs stay visible!
Created attachment 145136 [details] Testdata.odb (Lo 5.4.7.2) no repro with lo 5.4.7.2 and attached Testdata.odb
no repro with lo 6.0.6 and attached Testdata.odb seems to happen since lo 6.1.0.3 -> regression
i can not longer reproduce this bug with upcoming: Version: 6.1.2.1 (x64) Build-ID: 65905a128db06ba48db947242809d14d3f9a93fe CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: and Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: ec709a8d5e808b970a8930a389c0a5a6f61fe8c7 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: threaded
I am finding that in 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ I can't hide paragraphs at all.
Consistent with comment 1, I am finding that in 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ I can't hide paragraphs at all.

You're quite right, Oliver. Silly of me not to have checked that in the new installation of 6.2. No problem in 6.2.0.0 then.
