Public bug reported:
As per this bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72569
there's a bug in LibreOffice that causes it to stop responding in certain
reproducible situations.
The relevant thing here is that the WHOLE SYSTEM stops responding and you can't
even switch window, open a terminal, or close the offending application, in
this case Libre OFfice.
If a single buggy (or even malicious) application can cause the whole
system to become unusable, there is a bug in the system itself.
I can switch to a virtual console with ctrl+alt+f1 and kill the
offending libreOffice process in this case, so I guess the issue is
somewhere between Unity and X, rather than in linux. But this is only a
guess.
