I looked-up Deskovery. it is for-pay + closed-source. iow one can't reproduce
the bug, even less find out what they do that make things blow-up.

Yes it would be great. But I think Deskovery need to have a look at it. Only
they know what they do (whereas our source code is free for them to look at)

Note: the backtrace show 'HIServices'
so they most likely use 'Accessibility' API to intercept things and do it their
way... We have had issue with Accessibility in the past so it is possible that
there is a disconnect between some assumption made by Deskovery and what we do.
maybe we do it wrong, maybe their assumption should be checked... either way,
there are plenty of other accessibility extensions that work with LibreOffice
without making it crash, just like there is plenty of app that work with
Deskovery... it is not that clear cut where the bug is (and even maybe in both
side)
But as I said earlier, for practical reason, Deskovery's dev are in a better
place to diagnose it.

PS: their web say that they are located in Lyon, but their mailing address is
in Pertuis... closer to Aix or Marseille than Lyon which is 3 hours drive away
from Pertuis.
