Description: LibreOffice isn’t compiled to reduce disk writes on SSD drives, which equip all current Macs. This leads to situations, when making multiple edits and saves in a large file to a situation in which the builtin macOS disk write protection system is exceeded, generating an exception that LibreOffice doesn’t know how to handle, which in turn leads to a crash. In my case, I believe (from the trace) that the diagnostic report that macOS generated occurred when editing a Draw file with multiple pages of drawings, each page containing one or more relatively complex SVG files. However, this could also occur when editing a heavy Writer file, or any other multiple edit/save operations on the file. MacOS fixes a limit on the number of disk writes in a 24 hour period per application, in order to limit wear on SSD drives. The LibreOffice app bundle doesn’t seem to include any code which handles that situation gracefully, leading to the crash and the diagnostic report.

@Grey , please delete your first question with the tag “Base”. Thank you.
You should report this as a bug on Bugzilla.
There you can also check if there are already entries about this topic.

IMHO it is mainly a problem of the operating system.
Have a look in the MAC community if there are entries about this.
