A lot has changed since I originally submitted this bug report.

That page no longer contains PNG images, and it seems that LibreOffice Writer doesn't support the new webp standard images that the page contains. Read about webp here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebP

Additionally, I'm now using Kubuntu 20.04, which is less likely to lock up when a single applications has a problem.

I created a png version of the page again, so that I could test this in Kubuntu 20.04. I don't want to post a hyperlink of that page here, because I don't want google to index it. To get to the png version of the page, add "png/" onto the end of this URL:

From there, you can test this yourself by following steps 2 and 3 given at the top of this report.

In Kubuntu 20.04, LibreOffice Writer does a poor job at scaling the png images (that the page contains), but it doesn't crash in Kubuntu 20.04.

I can no longer speak for GNOME 3, but you can easily test it yourself from the png version of the page that I made exclusively for this bug report.
