I can confirm this bug on my system. The only difference is that I'm actually able to use and write formulas in libre-office writer for a few minutes but then, as soon as i pick an existing formula for editing or try to create a new one, Writer crashes without not even bringing apport-bug up (No, it's not blacklisted).

This is fully reproducible on my system. Writer does not crash if formulas are not present, and the dedicated formula editor LibreOffice Math is not affected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice Writer 2. Start writing a formula (Insert > Object > Formula) 3. Write anything in the formula editor. Crash should occur within seconds.
