Bug Description
What is expected to happen is when LibreOffice crashes, a crash report is created in the /var/crash folder.
What happened instead is LibreOffice crashed but apport didn't create a crash file in the /var/crash folder, despite running and being enabled. Apport creating crash files in /var/crash used to happen in Xenial, and in prior releases. Other programs that crash are picked up by apport so appears LO+apport issue.
LibreOffice has reference to placing crash files as per:
cat /etc/libreoffic
CrashDirectory=
I don't have any 3rd party LO plugins installed.

I have LibreOffice 5.1.3.2 installed via Lubuntu 16.04 Software Center. It crashes an awful lot. In particular, it crashed Lubuntu while working on a writer document document, and each time I relog in and try to have it recover the document and crashes Lubuntu again. I am using synergyc 1.5.1 on my machine.
