Run mailmerge wizard
When you get to dialogue to exclude/include recipient as you click through mailmerge document in background doesn't update so no way of telling which to exclude/include

Please check your merged document with a current build of master -- there has been work affecting this facet of the print dialog. Set back to unconfirmed with results.

It doesn't relate to final document, it relates to wizard dialogue where you select which recipients to include & exclude (which I have said before is awkward & MS Office offers simplicity in this area showing a table where you can filter and select which recipients on bulk - but that is another matter).

As you go forward and backward through the recipients the document in the background doesn't update with recipient details so you have no idea which one to include or exclude.

I'd love to test further but I have work to do so re-installed 4.1.6.2 as I know this works as I want and know how to manage it's bugs.
