dummy DB

On step 5 of mail merge wizard the preview on the right is missing and when you uncheck the "align to text body" checkbox LibreOffice hangs and then crash.

Steps:
1) New writer document
2) Tool -> mail merge wizard
3) On step 1 select "use the current document" -> next
4) On step 3 select "Letter" -> next
5) Click on "Select a different address list"
6) Add the attached dummy DB
7) On step 3.2 select "This document shall contain an address block"
8) Click the "more" button
9) Click on "New" and add the fields "First Name" and "Last name" and click "ok" and "ok"
10) on step 3.3 click the button "Match Fields" and combine "First name" with "Nome" and "Last Name" with "Cognome". The preview shows "Mario Rossi" -> "ok"
11) click "next"
12) on step 4 click "Next" without creating a salutation
13) On step 5 uncheck the checkbox "Align to text body"
14) hang and crash.

Current: on step 5 of the wizard "Adjust layout", the preview on the right is missing and LibreOffice hangs and crashes.

Expected: users can uncheck the option and go to step 6 "Edit document"
