Base constantly crashes

Every time I open a database (or create a new one) LibreOffice crashes as soon as I click on anything. Totally unusable.

I only use it occasionally so I don't know which update caused it to quit. LibreOffice and Java have been updated since I last used it.

LibreOffice: Version: 5.2.0.4

Java: jdk1.8.0_101.jdk

Mac OS X version 10.11.6

Hi Larry,

Every time I open a database (or create a new one) LibreOffice
crashes as soon as I click on anything. Totally unusable.

There seems to be a problem with Oracle-Java and Mac OS:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94716

If there is installed Apples Java also, this bug doesen't appear.

LibreOffice: Version: 5.2.0.4

I have Apple's Java installed. That bug is not the problem and was fixed in LibreOffice. However the latest comments on that report lead to a new bug https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101057 which is the cause of my problem.

Hi Larry,

I have Apple's Java installed. That bug is not the problem and was
fixed in LibreOffice. However the latest comments on that report
lead to a new bug
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101057 which is
the cause of my problem.

So it could be a good idea to switch to LO 5.2.1

You could find the prerelease here:

This was fixed in the master source repository and a backport fix
applied to the code for the upcoming 5.2.1 release.
