This Crash happened in LibreOfficeWriter
Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 4248d759744f83a68d334a8b347124719a2886a8

I had a document consisting of 196 paragraphs (ca 30 pages).
Then I used Table>Convert>Text to table to make a table with one paragraph per
cell (1 column), for this purpose I selected the paragraph marker for Separate
Text At.

Then I added a column left to the one column table. The purpose of this column
is to number the paragraphs consecutively in this leftmost column. Then I added
another column to the right in order to provide space to comment each cell in
the middle. Then I adjusted the column width to meet my objectives.

I tried to apply consecutive numbering to the first column. For this purpose I
entered the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, to the first four cells. Then I selected these
cells and wanted to extend the numbering as one does in a spreadsheet
application. Sometimes this is possible in tables which are part of a LO Writer
document: Then the usual controls around the table show up like in a
spreadsheet application like LibreOfficeCalc. However it did not do that.

My next idea to apply consecutive ordering was to copy all cells to
LibreOfficeCalc by selecting them all and using the clipboard.
I added the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 to the cells A1, …, A4. Then I selected these
cells and extended the numbering downward to the end of the table (i.e. to A196
in my case). Then I did Ctl-C to copy this column to the clipboard.

Formatting the whole LO Writer document had cost me quite some effort and I did
not want to loose that. Therefore I tried to paste the clipboard to the table
in the LO Writer document to the first column. For this purpose I first marked
the first column. There was an empty paragraph in each of them. For some
strange reason the cells had inherited the paragraph style from the (original)
column right to it. But I did not want paragraphs with indentation or bullets
there, therefore I first set them all to Default Style and also I specifically
switched off any bullets for all the paragraphs in the first column.
Then LO Writer crashed and showed me this message:

Due to an error.LibreOgfficeDev crashed. All the files you were working on will
now be saved. The next time LibreOfficeDev is launched, your files will be
recovered automatically. 
The following files will be recovered
(and it showed me the three files which were open in LibreOfficeDev at that
moment).

The next message was:

Unfortunately it seems that LibreOfficeDev crashed when it was last run.
You can help us to fix this issue by sending an anonymous report to the
LibreOfficeDev crash reporting server.

Then an option to restart LibreOfficeDev in safe mode (which I did not check).
I selected “Send Crash Report”.

The next thing was a crash report dialogue. I already complained about this
type of dialogue earlier in
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126488 and showed a picture
of it there. 

I hope the crash reporting server got the crash report and hopefully you can
associate it with my bug report now. Unfortunately until now, nobody could tell
me where to really find the crash dump file on my Xubuntu 16.04.4 computer. In
fact, I was told there is no crash report on the type of version which I was
using. However, there was this message! If I knew where the crash dump is, I
would like to add it. Unfortunately the dialogue above did not even tell which
kind of bug it was nor in which module it happened!

So if anyone could please tell me which additional file is necessary to pin
down this bug, I would like to provide it. But I can not provide the file with
which the bug happened.
