LibreOffice 5.2.1 & 5.1.5 crashing after upgrading to macOS Sierra (10.12)

[Bhonder]

I have a macbook pro 15" mid 2010 with discrete invidia graphic card (nvidia 330M).

The issue arises when the discrete graphic card is not engaged. When it is, everything goes fine. You can check it by yourself with GfxCardStatus.
I hade a similar problem with “Preview” app, but Apple’s developer were been able to fix it. Now is DocumentFoundation turn.

The strange things are that:

1. Usually LibreOffice never engaged the discrete graphic card but now it does;
2. When it does the card is switched on and off two or three times.

I can send any information needed to LibreOffice developer, if they think I might help.

I have a similar issue on a MacBook Pro (Retina 13-inch late 2013 GPU Intel Iris 1536 MB + ). LO works fine when the Mac is connected only to an Apple Thunderbolt Display. LO Writer crashes when opening any new or existing document when the internal Retina display is set as primary/only display. Same problem on all recent LO versions 5.2.2, 5.2.1 and 5.1.5 . Strangely, this problem is inexistent on a recent MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015 PGU Intel Iris Pro + AMD Radeon R9 M370X)

5.2.3 RC1 fixes it. Works great

5.2.3 still crashes at first start, as 5.2.1 did:

Process:               soffice [12348]
Path:                  /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice
Identifier:            org.libreoffice.script
Version:               5.2.3003 (5.2.3003)
[...]

2nd start worked fine. Never ending story.

THANK YOU! Turning off the video switching worked for me, I didn’t want to mess with the color profile as I’m a heavy Photoshop user. (2011 MacBook Pro)

Same kind of problems here, with OSX Sierra. But damn that works, unchecking the auto pilot on video switching. Such a small detail causing so much annoyance. Thank you guys … been without LO for over 2 weeks. Going back now to be a happy LO user.

LO 5.2.3 works after install from the DMG-file, after rebooting the mac it crashes on start, still the graphicsmode issue:

Starting LO from a Terminal-Session works for me…

Maybe some issue in the Info.plist ?

It appears a recent development version (5.3.0.0.alpha1) may bring some significant improvements. I have yet to encounter any major issues running master~2016-11-17_00.29.28_LibreOfficeDev_5.3.0.0.alpha1_MacOS_x86-64 on macOS 10.12.1 (Build 16B2555) on a recent-issue iMac. See http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/MacOSX-x86_64@49-TDF/current/

I mostly use NeoOffice due to my photosensitivity, but it would help to be able to use LibreOffice for certain functions. It does find/replace better.

I can open 5.2.2 by reopening it after the first crash - there is no second crash.

I can’t open 5.2.3 and above. I’ve tested up to 5.3.3.

I haven’t been able to fix this by switching color handling, or by switching LibreOffice settings, or by using power management options that don’t even exist on my computer.

The installed version is LibreOffice 5.2.7.2 is working for me; however, macOS High Sierra - nothing works for me, had to go back and reinstall Time Machine backup of macOS Sierra.
