If i Remove the table the bug disapears, but there maybe somethin wrong in the code.

To test, I disabled Track Changes.

> Table on page 8
The title of the table is "Quadro 2"

Steps to reproduce:
1. Selected cells D2, C3 and C4, or D5 and C6*
2. Right click on the selected range (Crash!)

The crash will happen in step 2 when the first cell is in column D and the last is in column C. Sometimes just selecting the cells will produce a crash.
Also will crash if do you select the third column and try to split cells vertically in 2.

* Accidentally I discovered the wrong underlying format in this table, possible inherited from the "another software" stated in Comment 2.
The third column is a disordered merge of columns C and D.
Look at cell reference at the status bar as you go down the column.

If do you select all the table, and split cells vertically in 2, the wrong formatting will be shown.

You can't add a new row pressing <Tab> while the cursor is in the last cell (D18).

So, for me, this is a mess that LibreOffice don't know how to handle it at importing the document (I don't blame it for that).
