           Summary: EDITING: Writer crashes while selecting text with

Some selected text in the crashed writer.

Problem description: 
Everytime I try to select some text using the command « shift + arrow commands
» Libre Office crashes. I cannot tell if it happens when I press « command » to
copy some text or what, or if I just press « command » one second before
leaving « shift », I just know that it has already happened at least five
times, and that I was caught up selecting some text using only the keyboard. I
also use alt a lot while using the shift, because you select text faster, I
think it may be something related to excessive use of keys: shift + arrows +
alt + command at the same time. I lost important text each time, and now I'm
backing up each five minutes because I'm really used to select text using the
keyboard.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Normaly it is happening on large texts, I'm not sure if it is needed. The
important thing is to try to select some text using the keyboard, probably more
than just one paragraph, and then try to go up and down with the arrows.
2. Try to press "command" to copy some text while have the shift and alt
pressed.

Current behavior:
- Writer may crash, the cursor pinwheels and all unsaved text may be lost.
- It is still possible to see the last "screenshot" of text before force
quitting LibreOffice. You can also use command + tab to go to other apps, but
to see the "screenshot" again you may minimize the other windows, because just
with command + tab LibreOffice won't appear again.

I attach a screenshot I needed to take to save some text, it doesn't say much
about exactly what happens but you can see that there is some text selected on
two paragraphs.

Thank you very much!
