Thank you for reporting the bug.
A new major release of LibreOffice is available since this bug was reported.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

Not (or no longer) reproducible in
Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 5a1ddc1a92a7883597ab7d825408a1f0adc2ec6e

Not sure about macOS 10.13 which is really old and no longer supported by Apple.

If you want to dig deeper, feel free to send test results for a main build from https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html on macOS 10.13.

Normally, I would try to reproduce with the current version.

However, since none of the 7.x versions work without random crashes on this - old - OS/hardware, I stopped using it and switched to an older NeoOffice.

I suggest you close the bug, it's not worth the trouble of looking into it.

Thanks!
