Opened this in 5.2.2 on Windows 10 and it noted:
LibreOffice 5.2 Fatal Error
SEH Exception: ACCESS VIOLATION

It's fixed in upstream LibreOffice 5.2.3 and 5.3.x

Bjoern, the upstream commit seems easy could you have a look if the code is the same in 5.1/xenial and backport with the next SRU upload if that's easy enough?

Confirmed fixed in Bionic.
