I want to be as clear as possible, so here are the steps for creating
the xml form with only one field that crashes when trying to edit the
field in design mode:

1) Open Libre writer.
2) File -> New -> XML Form Document
3) You will notice a split screen. Ignore the right side. Just put either a "Text Box" or "Formatted Field" anywhere on the left side.
4) To put the "Text Box" or "Formatted Field" on the left side, notice the 3rd toolbar from the top has buttons to "Select", turn design mode on or off (design mode is on), ... Click on either "Text Box" or "Formatted Field" (the buttons say what they are when you hover over them with the mouse).
5) Drag your mouse to create a rectangle indicating where the "Text Box" or "Formatted Field" will be.
6) The next step is supposed to be to edit what you just placed in the document to indicate what kind of field or text it is, but if you double-click the field while Design Mode is still on, that's when LibreOffice crashes.

Title:
  LibreOffice crashes when editing a field in an XLM Form Document
  (xforms)

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying to edit a text box or field in an XLM Forms Document by double
  clicking or any other method brings up a blank dialogue box. Clicking
  on the dialogue box greys out LibreOffice writer in the background and
  all of LibreOffice becomes unresponsive. No matter how long I wait,
  forcequit is the only way out.

  Please see the attached screen-shot of the blank dialogue and hung
  LibreOffice writer.

  After forcequiting, trying to edit a text box or field in xforms
  crashes LibreOffice - instant forcequit.

  When first trying to report this bug, ubuntu-bug showed that I didn't
  have LibreOffice installed. After installing LibreOffice, the instant
  forcequit/crash problem went away, but LibreOffice hung again when
  trying to edit a text box.

  After forcequiting again using xkill (just now while writing this), I
  couldn't re-open LibreOffice until I stopped processes libreoffice and
  soffice in system-monitor.

  Now LibreOffice once again instantly crashes/forcequits whenever I
  double-click on a text box or field.
