Public bug reported:
Writer crashed suddenly and will not reopen. I transferred the file I
was working on to another computer and the file was locked for editing.
I have managed to recover the document but still cannot restart Writer,
even after a removal/re-installation of the libreoffice package. The
other libreoffice programs are working fine.

Killed processes, restarted Writer, got a recovery window (see attached
screenshot), Writer crashed again after trying to recover "untitled: in
recovery screen. That was not the document I was working on when the
program crashed. I have not used Writer on this particular computer
until just recently...

Restarted again and skipped through the recovery screens for "untitled"
and managed to get Writer restarted. This still may cause a problem in
the future as I do not know what caused the initial crash. Writer was
locked up even after a logout and a reboot. I reinstalled the
libreoffice package and still could not get Writer running until I went
through the process kill in terminal. Program seems to be functioning
normally for now...
Hope you have enough info on this one...
