Great! Thank you for reporting the bug and helping bibisecting it.

[Jan Holesovsky] The question I've got is how one gets from the bibisect commit to the actual commit in the master tree? Mainly there are three kind of bibisect repositories: 1. 'max' repos: They have one build per commit 2. 'all' repos: They have one build made every 64 commits 3. dbgutil daily repos: They have one build made daily So, as you're using the last one, in the end you will have a range of commits made between 2016-03-18 and 2016-03-19 where the problematic one should be. At this point, you can run 'git bisect log', copy the output to the bug and add the keywords: 'regression' and 'bibisected'. More info: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bibisect/Linux#Short_.28and_sweet.29_Instructions_-_Linux_Only However, I'd recommend you to use the max repos when possible as the problematic

[Jan Holesovsky] The question I've got is how one gets from the bibisect commit to the actual commit in the master tree? The good news was by studying what was returned by bibisect and bisect I saw there was mention of a MailMerge Toolbar. This was new to me, so I investigated and found that the Mailmerge functionality had been changed by the commits quoted above, not found where this was recorded or communicated to the wider world. To cut a long story short. I'm convinced that the bug report that I opened can be closed as not a problem. Can I do that myself?
