By seeing "accessibility" in stracktrace, I wonder if this Roman's (that I put in cc) comment may help:
"
1) Do you have any accesibility features enabled? Apple’s accessibility
features like “VoiceOver” or “Enable access for assistive devices”, which get
enabled in “System Preferences > Universal Access”, are known to cause many crashes and freezes in LibreOffice. So please try to disable any accesibility features, then check if the problem is still reproducible.

2) Do you have installed any window management/user interface utilities/apps/control panels/extensions for Mac OS X like 
   * AquaSnap                * BetterSnapTool
   * BetterTouchTool         * Breeze
   * Cinch                   * Divvy
   * DoublePane              * Flexiglass
   * HyperDock               * iSnap
   * Moom                    * RightZoom
   * ShiftIt                 * SizeUp
   * SizeWell                * Spectacle
   * Stay                    * TileWindows
   * WindowTidy            ... or something similar?

And/or do you use any mouse cursor/pointer utility, i.e. some little application or control panel etc. which animates or replaces etc. the mouse curser/pointer, like
   * LazyMouse?

And/or do you use any special software which could be related to accessibility stuff, e.g. a screen reader, screen magnifier, speech recognition software,
a text-to-speech (dictation) application, or similar?

All these and many similar utilities rely heavily on Mac OS accessibility features and therefore can cause LibreOffice to crash or freeze. So please check if you have installed any utility of this kind and try to disable it
(or to add LibreOffice to the list of excluded applications for the utility,
if there is such a thing).

So please check these possibilities, if any of them helps to make the crash go away, and report the results here.

1) No I have “Enable access for assistive devices” checked on.
2) Yes I have BetterTouchTool App and USB overdrive installed. USB ovedrive doesn't affect LO at all. Disabling BetterTouchTool helps! (but it's making me sad because I use the window snapping feature mostly in LibreOffice.

PS: I have also installed v:4.0.0.2.0.2 and it works without glitches.. (even with BTT enabled)

Rainer: I thought about putting WFM for this one + "WFM:4.0" in keywords. Any idea?

@Fieldman (In reply to comment #2):
Plese do not use the mail interface for comments
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA-FAQ#How_to_cite_other_comments>!

@Julien (In reply to comment #3):
It's a little unsatisfactory not to have that function working in 3.6, but I doubt that there is any chance for a cherrypick.
So I agree with closing WFM, please also see my posting on QA mailing list!
