Bug ID: 119294
Summary: Intermittent crash when Frame and document have blank
database fields and "Hide paragraphs" option on
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org

Database file for reproduction
_Description_
If I have a Frame which contains a database field and on the same line as the
Frame another database field, if both database fields are blank then I will
occasionally see a crash (about 1 in 3 times) when doing "Edit Individual
Documents".
Only happens when "Hide paragraphs of database fields (e.g., mail merge) with
an
empty value" is on.
I have not tried to see if this happens when doing Save or Print Merged
Documents or Send E-Mail Messages.

_Steps to Reproduce_
Make sure you have Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer >
Compatibility > "Hide paragraphs of database fields (e.g., mail merge) with an
empty value" option ticked.
1. Create a new Writer document
2. Insert > Frame > Frame..., click OK
3. Click inside the frame (to get a text cursor; may need to unfocus the frame
first)
4. Insert > Field > More Fields...
5. Click the tab "Database" and under Type select "Mail merge fields"
6. Next to "Add database file" click "Browse..." and select the attached
database file
7. From the Database selection select mailing_list_minimal > Sheet1 > Last Name
8. Click Insert
9. Without closing the dialog click outside of the frame, to return to cursor
to the top of the page
10. Click Insert again and click Close
11. Add a new paragraph after the db field inserted in step 10, by pressing
Enter key
12. Click View > Toolbars > Mail Merge
13. In the new toolbar click "Edit Individual Documents"
May need to repeat step 13 a few times. So far for me it happens within 3 goes.
_Actual Results_
LibreOffice exits.
_Expected Results_
LibreOffice shows the individual mail merge documents.
Reproducible: Intermittent
