It is not reproducible for me.

I have another very reproducible libreoffice bug which does not trigger apport. The Unity-top-panel goes to 120-140% CPU and becomes unusable as soon as I open libreoffice writer and try to write some text.

Saving for me, to a Dropbox folder, seems to have triggered this issue.

Further clarification:
 - The spreadsheet is made of a few pivot tables
 - Altering data on a tab that is just plain data seems fine - I can save to said Dropbox folder
 - Refreshing the pivot tables or editing data seems fine - I can save to said Dropbox folder
 - If I edit a *chart*, close it from editing and then either (1) save or (2) swap worksheets, it appears to trigger the crash.

Happy to make the spreadsheet available or a simplified test case out of it, as it's certainly chart control related.
