--- Comment #10 from Heinz Repp <[email protected]> ---
As a long time Open/LibreOffice user and long time user of hidden sections this
bug bites me for the first time as a regression in LibreOffice 5. My use case
is:

A mail merge master document has multiple sections which are hidden on
conditions from the database the document is filled from. When doing the mail
merge, I create separate target documents as often I have to edit some after
merging. Then I batch print all created documents. This worked for me ever
since OpenOffice 2.x up to LibreOffice 4.x.

Now, with LibreOffice 5.0.1.2 I was shocked to see all sections, hidden or not,
be printed. Same holds true for export to PDF, a workaround I hoped it would
work but didn't. This bug bites me on Ubuntu and Windows, it seems not to be
platform specific.

Surprisingly, the hidden sections are suppressed as they should when I print
directly from the mail merge. So: Mail merge -> print to printer works, but
Mail merge -> print to file, save merged document as individual documents
exhibits the bug. Surprisingly, when I open the merged individual documents
without editing them, I still can see the sections hidden where they should be.
But while printing/exporting, the document is reformatted, and all hidden
sections are shown (without marking the document as changed).
