Description: In Mail Merge, there is an option to 'Suppress lines with just empty fields'. There is a small text box below that shows how the fields will be displayed. The data can be scrolled through to check the results. However, the text box view does not hide the empty fields. There is a screenshot example below. This leads the user to assume that it is not working properly. Ultimately, if the mail merge is completed and printed to file, it can then be seen that it worked correctly. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a spreadsheet with names and addresses. 2. Create a Writer document. 3. Use Tools | Mail Merge Wizard to create address fields in the document. Actual Results: The Mail Merge Wizard text box does not display blank fields correctly. It inserts a blank line, rather than hiding a single empty field on a line. Expected Results: The text box should not have displayed lines with no data. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Screenshot will be attached.

Can you attach an example address list (with some bogus info) so we can test accurately?
Reporter should always attach single examples, if built-in Bibliography database cannot be used. But I guess attachment 161216 [details] from bug 133337 csn be used here.
Repro 7.2+. I mark trivial. Needs ODS with usual fields, but with some empty in the 1st record, which is only seen in preview.
