Thanks for the clarification. I think it's important though to clarify what to
handle in this bug report. While it may basically look like a similar same
issue from a user perspective, the underlying issue might be another one. In
particular, I think it's important to focus on one specific problem, i.e.
LibreOffice version and VCL plugin for now (and handle potential other problems
in separate bug reports, should they still exist after that one has been dealt
with).

I think it's important to distinguish between these VCL plugins:

* gtk3: native gtk/GNOME integration
* gtk3_kde5: basically the same as gtk3, but with native KDE file dialogs
* qt5: native Qt 5 implementation
* kde5: uses "qt5", with some extensions for better KDE integration, e.g. file
dialogs

The latter two are only available from LibreOffice 6.2 on (and in my personal
opinion not really ready for "production" use yet).

What's a bit misleading is that the Ubuntu PPA package called
"libreoffice-kde5" in version 1:6.1.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 actually includes
the "gtk3_kde5" VCL plugin (not the "kde5" one, which does not exist for
LibreOffice 6.1).

> ("Apparmor")

I totally agree that AppArmor doesn't seem to be problematic in your case then
(disabling should be enough). I just remembered having had all kinds of issues
with AppArmor in the past, so thought it would be good to be able to make sure
it's not involved here.


> ("build")

I think there's no desperate need for you to build from source yourself right
now.


What do you think would be the best way to continue now? Do you think it makes
sense if you first try to identify the difference between your two computers
and possibly make it work this way?

For the qt5/kde5 crash, I'd suggest to open a separate bug report, once this is
what you want to use (and possibly it's reproducible on another computer as
well, to make sure it's not the result of some "remainders" of previous
testing, etc.).
