            Bug ID: 137618
           Summary: Not obvious that 'Suppress lines with just empty
                    fields' is working
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.2.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mike.sapsard at gmail.com

Description:
In Mail Merge, there is an option to 'Suppress lines with just empty fields'.
There is a small text box below that shows how the fields will be displayed.
The data can be scrolled through to check the results. However, the text box
view does not hide the empty fields. There is a screenshot example below.

This leads the user to assume that it is not working properly.

Ultimately, if the mail merge is completed and printed to file, it can then be
seen that it worked correctly.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a spreadsheet with names and addresses.
2. Create a Writer document.
3. Use Tools | Mail Merge Wizard to create address fields in the document.


Actual Results:
The Mail Merge Wizard text box does not display blank fields correctly. It
inserts a blank line, rather than hiding a single empty field on a line.

Expected Results:
The text box should not have displayed lines with no data.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Screenshot will be attached.
