Description Albrecht Dreß 2025-11-20 18:11:24 UTC 
I accidentally used the key combination fn-Shift-Enter (instead of just Shift-Enter) to insert a line break - and Writer crashed.  The effect is always reproducible.  In other applications (like macOS' Text Edit) it's simply ignored, i.e. no OS bug.

Although this is some kind of Layer 8 issue, IMHO wrong key combinations should just be ignored.

Installation details:
* macOS 12.7.6
* LO 25.8.3.2
* German localisation
