                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

MailMerge document and its database

If the database associated with this MailMerge document is password-protected,
then opening More Fields dialog requests that password, regardless of which tab
is it opening.

It is OK when Database tab is opened, because it needs to expand the associated
database, but it is unexpected and wrong when other tabs are opened.

Steps:

1. Create a password-protected database. E.g., use a password-protected
spreadsheet, and create an ODB that uses that spreadsheet. Register it in
Options->Base->Databases.
2. Create a new text document, and add a MailMerge field from the database on
step 1. Save the document.
3. Insert->Field->More Fields; make sure that any tab *other than Database* is
open; close the dialog.
4. Restart LibreOffice, to make sure that the database is not open.
5. Open the MailMerge document created at step 2, and open Insert->Field->More
Fields dialog.

=> password is requested, despite the dialog opens at a tab chosen on step 3,
not Database tab.

This may be reproduced with the attached repro set. Register the database from
the set, open MM.odt, and try to open Insert->Field->More Fields dialog.

Repro in 7.1.1.2, and older versions starting with LO 4.0. In 3.6 and earlier,
it only asked the password when opening Database tab (as expected).
