Do you mean it works for you after disabling Java like advised in the report?
If yes, we will closed as duplicate of bug 108619
Comment 3 andi 2018-09-23 20:33:28 UTC 
yes, after disabling java the problem was solved.

Now I replace OpenJDK with Oracle JRE and can use java without crashing.

Conclusion: it might have something to do with OpenJDK and Java enabled.
