This bug report explains the common factor causing the crashes reported in the following bugs: 145167 145168 145189 145285 In addition to those bugs, I have nearly a dozen additional and similar crashes. All can be demonstrated as being caused by the underlying FS used to store the files. I have been using VeraCrypt containers for file storage. They predate APFS. When I tried copying a few "consistent crash" files to a different computer, (Mojave using APFS), the files would not cause a crash. I then tried moving those files to the native APFS drive on my computer, and they also worked every time. To rule out VeraCrypt as the cause, I created a test VeraCrypt container I formatted with APFS and everything continued to work correctly. To verify that the Mac OS Extended Journaled Filesystem was the cause, I moved the files to a Thunderbolt-connected drive which was Mac OS Extended Journaled. The files caused crashes EVERY time. Thus, this is CLEARLY a bug where LibreOffice is no longer properly handling the Mac OS Extended Journaled Filesystem. Since this is a FS still in widespread use, I consider this to be a MAJOR bug. Note that not all LO files cause crashes, but about 10% to 15% of my files are causing consistent crashes. Please see the above bug reports for additional details, and I can provide additional crash dumps if required.

Thanks for all the work you have done investigating this issue. Would you please sanitize one or two of these files of any personal or private information, and attach them to this bug report? Then we can use them for additional testing and debugging.

Looks like no-one has confirmed this Do you still have such issues on 7.5? Interestingly the See also bug that has been confirmed by another use was with APFS: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145167#c9
