Correction: Sorry the problem occur only with data source from type text(connection to text files). I have make more test with another data source types and the print run correct Test case 1: - Create data source from type "text files" - copy to this folder the new text file example as attachment "testtxt.txt" - Open Data Source Browser(F4) or Menue: "View-Data Sources" - insert a few amount of fields into the template - Try to print this document as form letter - The record window is empty - no data will appear on the database fields Test case 2: - Create data source from type "text files" - copy to this folder the new text file example as attachment "testtxt.txt" - Open Data Source Browser(F4) or Menue: "View-Data Sources" - insert a few amount of fields into the template - Close the Data Source Browser - Try to print this document as form letter - The record window work correct - the print is correct

Please take a look, we export frequently data from another applications as txt or csv files and use the mail merge functionality on Libreoffice to create reports similar to the attached template Thanks!
The problem persist on Libreoffice 4.1.2 RC1 in addition to another information: - By run Test case 1 - if the list contains more as one record, will be the first record of txt data source files ignored by print this document as form letter under the same terms as described
The problem persist on Libreoffice 4.1.2 RC2
Pleas consider this bug, we work daily with this kind of data source. The problem persist furthermore on Libreoffice 4.1.2 RC3 and the status of the bug is always unconfirmed. If you need more Information you can anytime contact me. Thanks!
I confirm this behavior!
I confirm this wrong behavior!
Tested too with Libreoffice 4.3.1.1 The wrong behavior persist!
Tested too with Libreoffice 4.1.3 The wrong behavior persist!
This behavior also exists in BASE. If you open a database table connected to a txt file the first record(s) in the table won't display. That is, if you open the table after first logging on you might see all the records. Then if you close the view and reopen the first record will disappear. If you hit the refresh button while in table view the top record will disappear. etc.
3 independent confirmations ----> confirmed
Hmm, on master, OSX Yosemite, I can not even set up a text based ODB file, all of the text files are greyed out in the Finder, even if I coose the semi-colon as field separator in the import options list
My problem could well be a different bug, caused by UI rework, testing now on LO 4322 Well, same problem there too, can't even select a txt file to create my ODB file

@Domingo : the testtxt file you added only contains one record !
@Domingo, testing on master 440 alpha, I see the record in the datasource browser window (pressing F4). However, pressing Ctrl-P and answering yes to the question asked gives an error message : The datasource can not be found, check your connection settings. See attached screenshot. DEo you see this also with LO 4322 ?

I used the originally attached text file, this always displays the first record no matter how often I open or close the table mode view
