application crashes since update

[Amnon Yekutieli]

Since a few days ago the program LibreOffice Writer is broken.

1) Does not launch, or launches after several clicks a long (> 2 min) dely.

2) When open, the program often freezes and needs to be killed.

Crashed again today.

Need to reboot computer... (logout + login not enough).

amyekut, LibreOffice 7.2.x is already out of support, could you test if your issue still appears on latest stable libreoffice release 7.4.4 from https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa (ppa:libreoffice/ppa )

My current version of libreoffice writer is

Version: 7.3.7.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 30(Build:2)
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
Locale: he-IL (en_IL.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Ubuntu package version: 1:7.3.7-0ubuntu0.22.04.1

and all seems to be working well.
