Description:
For a long time, Libre Office has been incompatible with the Mac
"Accessibility" feature. A growing list of software uses this feature,
and many bugs have been and will be reported that have this as a root
cause. At the least, users should be warned.

In the System Preferences Control Panel,  choose Security, Privacy,
Accessibility, then "Allow these apps to control your computer".

If any of them is on, Libre Office will crash unpredictably, even when
sitting doing nothing (or also typically, when trying to save a file
or quit). This continues to happen in 6.0.0.0 RC2. Enclosed a file
which crashes a minute or so after startup (this is an .odm; I can
send the entire folder if you wish).  If I turn off Accessibility for
all such applications, I can at least start LO with that file and do
some editing; I am only beginning testing this version.

Right now, I need Accessibility for the following applications:

Default Folder
Dropbox
Dragon
IshowU Instant
Quickeys and Quickeys User Event Helper

Also in this category are screen readers, and some system utilities or
programming environments.

What are the prospects for fixing this? It may reach the point that I
might have to abandon LO, and I would rather continue using it.

Thanks for your work on this project.
