Attempted to recreate bug, using a Windows build of version 4.1.0, instead of the Mac OS version.
Following the steps listed, could not recreate the crash.
Also attempted additional steps, such as: tiered down all items in Data Sources, entering text into biblio table, and entering text into document. None of these additions replicated the error.
Comment 2 Matthias Seidel 2016-09-08 20:57:30 UTC 
I can confirm the crash with v4.1.2 on Ubuntu 16.04.1.

1. open "Data Sources" with F4
2. expand Bibliography
3. close "Data Sources" with F4
Program crashes

Without expanding "Bibliography" I can close "Data Sources" without crash.
Comment 3 Matthias Seidel 2016-09-10 14:49:42 UTC 
Crash does not occur in 4.1.2 under Windows (Win 8.1 / 32bit).
Nor does it crash 4.1.2 under OS/2. ;-)

So it may be only related to Mac and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04.1 / 64 bit in my case)
Comment 4 Matthias Seidel 2016-09-15 15:45:22 UTC 
If OpenOffice is started as root (sudo openoffice4) the crash does not occur on Ubuntu 16.04.1

Maybe the problem is related to issue 126980:

I could confirm the problem on Ubuntu 16.04.1. 
The reson is null pointer reference in SvListView::IsExpanded method.

Fixed on trunk.
Comment 8 Matthias Seidel 2016-09-22 21:34:44 UTC 
Tested with a 4.2.0 dev build of SVN r1761670 (Ubuntu 16.04.1 / 64bit) and the problem is no longer visible!

This fix should be included in 4.1.4

It solves most of the crashes in Ubuntu (and maybe any distribution with a gnome-based DE?) together with https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=rev&rev=1668939.

Comment 11 Ariel Constenla-Haile 2017-02-02 21:55:06 UTC 
Revision 1761439 is merged now on branch AOO414
Comment 12 Kay 2017-08-17 20:54:36 UTC 
Running Linux-32 bit on CentOS 6.9 with 4.1.4  Rev. 1804788 (RC 2). No issues going through the steps given in the initial description. So verified, fixed on my setup but we probably need additional testing.
