Description:
I did a new, clean, installation on ubuntu 18.04.  I went to register a database (Tools, Options, Libreoffice Base, Databases, New.

The PC locked up.  Only the mouse would move.  I had to crash reboot. I repeated this a few times, and could not get round until I set Libreoffice, General, Use Libreoffice dialogue boxes. That fixed it.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools, Options, Libreoffice Base, Databases, New.


Actual Results:  
PC locks.  Has to be powered off and rebooted.

Expected Results:
Should just allow me to register a database.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
I set Libreoffice, General, Use Libreoffice dialogue boxes. 

That fixed it.

I am on:

On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian testing package 6.0.4.2, I don't reproduce this. I tested with gtk3, gtk, gen, kde4 renderings.

For the test, could you rename your LO directory profile (https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux) and give a new try?

And now it works. I went back to my original profile and it works there as well.

Good, but frustrating. I tried it many times, and it locked up every time, and now it doesn't....

Sorry.  I'll close this one off as 'notabug'.

No problem, the important thing is just that it works :-)
