Every time I add one o more formulas in LibreOffice Writer using Formula Editor and I try to save the document, the software crashes.
It happens even if I try Formula Editor (on my computer called LibreOffice Math) by itself. 
It crashes when I click on the Save Button or Save menus on both the softwares.
I need to use the Formula Editor as student, and i lost my work after an hour of work.

Reproducible: Always

1.Add a formula in Writer (Or in Formula Editor)

5.Crash
(step 3 and 4 only in LibreOffice Writer)
Actual Results:  
It crashes

On pc Debian x86-64 with LO Debian package 5.0.2.2, I don't reproduce this.

Do you reproduce this with a brand new file?

For the test, could you rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#GNU.2FLinux) and give a new try?

I thought it was a Formula Editor bug because LibreOffice never gave me this kind of bug ad this was the first time I was working on Formula Editor.

So the real problem is: LibreOffice crashes always when you try to save whatever.

I found that this bug is made by the update to GNOME 3.18

I've found this workaround https://forum.antergos.com/topic/3089/libreoffice-crashing-on-save/5 that says:
from the libreoffice menu go to tools/options/general and mark “use libreoffice dialogs”

It works and LibreOffice never crash anymore.

It's our bug actually, and it's already fixed towards 5.0.4. In the meantime there is a better workaround: Just add export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk to your .bash_profile, or uncomment this line in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.sh. You'll need to logout-login for the change to take effect.
