@ Adam:

From the crash report, it is clear that this crash is related to Mac OS
accessibility features. Therefore to avoid this kind of crash in the future, it
will probably help you to check the following possibilities:

1) Do you have any accesibility features enabled? Apple’s accessibility
features like "VoiceOver" or "Enable access for assistive devices", which get
enabled in "System Preferences > Universal Access" (in German:
"Bedienungshilfen"; dont’t know about other languages), are known to cause many
crashes in LibreOffice (see bug 47368). So please try to disable any
accesibility features, i.e. uncheck "VoiceOver", "Enable access for assistive
devices", etc.

2) Do you have installed any window management/user interface utilities/apps
for MacOS X like 
* Moom           (see bug 42014)
* Cinch          (see bug 51791)
* RightZoom      (see bug 51686)
* ShiftIt        (see bug 52147)
* BetterSnapTool (see bug 53240)?
All these and many similar utilities rely heavily on accessibility issues and
therefore cause LibreOffice to crash. So please check if you have installed any
utility of this kind and try to disable it (or to add LibreOffice to the list
of excluded applications for the utility, if there is such a thing).

Disabling both all of Apple’s accessibility features and all
accessibility-related/window management utilities, and then re-starting your
Mac should fix the LibreOffice crash. Please try this.

If you have further questions, you can mail me (b...@eikota.de).
