Description: Mail Merge loses CR+LF Windows and LF Unix when data source have these symbols. Writer replace these symbols by uncommon one that does not triggs paragraph separation. The bad effect of this is for instance, application of list style does not work properly and the numbering shows only number 1 and does not go beyond. Writer sees only one paragraph. It is a bug because if you copy paste a text from simple text editor to Writer, CR/LF is copied well and it marks paragraph separation. Steps to Reproduce: 1.From data base source, insert multiple line separated with CR+LF Windows or LF Unix 2.Create a mail merge from the data base source 3.Check in the produced file with 'Toggle Formatting Marks' tool: CR/LF are replaced by uncommon symbol( a folded arrow) . Actual Results: CR+LF Windows or LF Unix are replaced by other symbol Expected Results: Replace CR+LF Windows or LF Unix by the right paragraph separator Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: Version: 7.1.8.1 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e1f30c802c3269a1d052614453f260e49458c82c CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: en-US Calc: threaded
Thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
I set to 'Unconfirmed' because in version 7.3.1 the bug is still there. Version: 7.3.1.3 (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a69ca51ded25f3eefd52d7bf9a5fad8c90b87951 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); UI: en-US Calc: threaded

(In reply to titanemdg from comment #3) > The statu is still 'UNCONFIRMED' > What is the next ? Does the issues solved ? Next step is status NEW, that means a second user can confirm the bug. I'm not so familiar with mail merge, so for me steps in initial bug report are not detailed enough. Sorry.
Please attach example document and database. Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the files.
