Yes, this is a different bug. From your description, and from the stack trace
in the log file, I conclude that it is essentially the same issue as bug 46981
and bug 52147, which are both in turn variants of bug 47368. (For details about
these older bug reports and their relations, see attachment 67635.)

Now bug 47368 has been fixed (together with its variants), but it seems that
the fixes for bug 47368 have, as an unwanted side-effect, introduced a new bug
-- the present one, as described in your original comment #0.

This leads to a dilemma: if you use LibreOffice <= 3.6.1.2, you will suffer bug
47368 and its variants; if you use LibreOffice >= 3.6.2.2, you will suffer the
present bug :-( And switching to Apache OpenOffice is not a solution, too,
because AFAIK it suffers from bug 47368, too ...

So I am sorry to say so, but: for now, the only workaround is to disable or
deinstall Cinch. If you do not use Cinch nor any similar tools (see my --
incomplete -- list in comment #11), neither bug 47368 and its variants nor the
present bug nor some similar accessibility-related bugs will appear. This is a
poor situation, but the only consolation I can give for now is that LibreOffice
is not the only application which has problems with Mac OS accessibility and
tools which need it: IIRC, some really expensive DTP/graphics/digital imaging
applications have (or at least had) very similar problems ...

A simple workaround would be to deactivate Cinch for LibreOffice *only*, if
that was possible; but it seems that Cinch does not have a list of applications
to exclude. Some similar tools, e.g. “RightZoom” and “BetterSnapTool”, allow to
be disabled for certain applications; maybe it could help you to try if any of
these utilities (a) satisfies your needs and (b) adding LibreOffice to the
exclusion list in that application really makes the crashes go away. But this
is just a hint, intended to be helpful, and no advertising for nor negative
advertising against Chinch, RightZoom, and BetterSnapTool etc. ;-)

Hope it helps!
