Description:
Reported and Mike Kaganski commented:

It looks like a bug, and also I remember fixing 
 similar problem (tdf#135997) in one of earlier versions. It was related to the recent used characters list that is shown in the widget on the toolbar; and an easy solution was to reset user profile, which removed every user setting including the recent used list.

However, for the proper fix, I suggest you to send a crash report (if it is suggested to you after the crash), and mention its address in the mentioned tdf#135997.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Opened a new document as a test after numerous tests.  
Pressed the key to enter the Input Special Character (horseshoe icon, widget?
3. Immediteate crash

Actual Results:
Immediately crashed 
Understand from 'Mike Maganski' that was in earlier versions
I was asked to quote  tdf#135997

Expected Results:
Expected to special symbol area to open and be able to choose 'Paragraph symbol.  (Shaped like a "q" inverted and filled in.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
