Trying with disabled swap (but encrypted home), the issue vanishes:
- sudo bash
- swapoff -a
- cryptsetup remove /dev/mapper/cryptswap1
- fdisk -l /dev/sda <- find your swappartition there
- mkswap /dev/sda$SWAPPARTITION
- swapon -a

So encrypted swap corrupts the stack/heap of the application.

Swapping is not an userspace concern thus Libreoffice is _not_ at fault here. Closing as invalid in Libreoffice again. This does NOT mean that Libreoffice is not affected by this -- it means it cant be fixed there because it is not its fault.
