Description Michael Weghorn 2019-09-05 08:55:56 UTC
Steps to reproduce

0) use Windows or Linux with either the "gen" or the "kf5" VCL plugin
1) start LibreOffice Writer
2) start Mail Merge wizard ("Tools" -> "Mail Merge Wizard")
3) in step 3 of the wizard ("Insert Address book"), click the "Select Address List..." button

Result: 

* a "Select Address List" dialog opens, but it's not a modal dialog
* the "Select Address List..." button from the underlying "Mail Merge Wizard" dialog can be clicked again and a second "Select Address List" dialog opens
    * This can be repeated again and again to open even more of those dialogs

Expected behaviour:

* The dialog opening in step 3 should be modal, i.e. it shouldn't be possible to interact with the other wizard dialog until that one has been closed again.
* There should never be more than one "Select Address List" dialog at the same time

Notes:

* This works as expected when using the gtk3 VCL plugin on Linux instead (i.e. 'SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3')
