If Calc (or any other LO app) crashes, then all the other open apps crash as well. Is there no way of protecting the others? The alternative would be to reduce autosave to 1-2minutes, which is fine, but does not seem right.

There are no separate apps. Everything runs in one process.
The whole architecture of LibreOffice would have to be changed for it to be otherwise. So this report has a target that is too big for any one code commit.
Closing.
Comment 2 Björn Michaelsen 2016-05-13 08:25:26 UTC 
Right. The fix is LibreOffice not crashing in the first place.

Note that the perception of "different app" is mostly superficial -- the apps work close together and thus cant be separated (e.g. mailmerge uses databases in writer etc.)
