After the collection of at least 4 duplicates of this bug, I realize it is far
more important than I believed before. Having never faced before this problem
with a release version of LibreOffice myself, I did not think that so much
users are affected.

Of course, it is still possible that the root of all these problems with the
Settings dialog on MacOS is indeed some Accessibility Tools setting, which is
just not remembered by the users anymore. Therefore it is still possible that
this bug is indeed a special case of bug 47368 ("Many crashes when
accessibility enabled on MAC").

But before we could decide about this question, I wanted to collect all bug
reports which specifically talk about problems with selecting items from the
settings list in the "LibreOffice -> Settings" dialog on MacOS X (as opposed to
crashes anywhere, as the report for bug 47368 does).

When I read the different reports I get the impression that Accessibility Tools
settings are one cause of these problems (like, e.g., in bug 33359, in bug
42014, or in comment #13 below), but that there could be also another cause of
these problems, independed from Accessibility Tools settings (see, e.g.,
comment #2 below!). This distinction could correspond to the differences in the
description of the crash: in some cases, LibreOffice crashes immediately when
the user selects another category in the settings list, in other cases it does
not crash but hangs. Isn't it possible that there are really two different
bugs, the one related to Accessibility Tools settings, the other one not?
