I was happily using LibreOffice 5 (specifically Writer 5.0.1.2.0) on my openSUSE Gnome Tumbleweed computer when I thought I better save it before anything happens to all of my work. So I hit Cntl + S and LibreOffice closed without saving!
Thankfully most of my work is recoverable but it was consistent that each time I try to save (through the menu or Cntl + S) the application would close.
Running LibreOffice from the terminal I had the following output
drew@linux-31jo:~> libreoffice

Iām using 5.0.3.1 and not finding any trouble. However, I recall seeing
a thread on this a few days ago but a search here and on the LO
newsgroup failed to reveal anything. Sorry.

Libreoffice 5.0 crashes on saving files: LO5 has a new GTK3 integration
module, which is, sadly, not up to the standards yet. But it was
realized too late. The next LO5 package will have the GTK3 variant
split in a separate package, so that the devs can work with it and
debug it. Until then, if you suffer from LO5 crashes, the easiest way
is to delete the file
/usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so
(you could also uninstall libreoffice-gnome, but then LO will look
really bad)

And confirming that removing /usr/lib64/libreoffice/program/libvclplug_gtk3lo.so as suggested by Dimstar fixes the problem
while apparently keeping Gnome integration.
