Hello stefbu at web.de,
thank you very much for your bug report!

I am sorry that LibreOffice crashes for you. However, the same things which
cause LibreOffice to crash for you work fine on many other machines (e.g., on
my one; I have just tried again with LibreOffice 3.5.5.3, German langpack
installed, on MacOS X 10.6.8: no crashes).

So we need to find out what makes the difference, i.e. why LibreOffice crashes
in your installation. The first things to check are:

1) Can you please try running LibreOffice with a brand new LibreOffice user
profile (see http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile)? This seems to
heal many serious problems (cf. e.g. bug 51323).

2) 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"), are known to cause many crashes in LibreOffice (see bug
47368). So please try to disable any accesibility features.

3) 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)?
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).

Thank you very much for trying this out (and please report the results here,
too)!
