By erasing the config directory (~/.config/libreoffice in my case) the error disappeared and the application works properly.

Do you still have a copy of your problematic ~/.config/libreoffice that you could share?

Comment 3 Cristián Rojas 2017-07-18 20:45:22 UTC
Nope. I deleted it. Sorry. You can close this if you want.

Comment 4 Christian Wiwie 2017-10-06 10:01:57 UTC
I encountered the same problem, and as indicated by the issue opener, removing the ~/.config/libreoffice directory solves the problem.

I have created a backup of it and can provide it.

Comment 5 Caolan McNamara 2017-10-06 16:06:04 UTC
oh certainly, if you have a config backup that can be used to reproduce this then attach it here, or send it to me directly referencing this bug
