I see a similar error when saving files in Libreoffice

from gdb /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

On an Antergos install (with Gnome 3), after the recent Arch package updates, Libreoffice crashed on startup. It gave pretty much the same error message as the evolution crash above. Using Tweak Tool, I changed the GTK+ theme from the default for Antergos (Numix-Frost) to Adwaita, and then "libreoffice --writer" started but crashed on saving files. The error message was:

(soffice:13484): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_set_text: assertion 'GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed

(soffice:13484): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_entry_get_text: assertion 'GTK_IS_ENTRY (entry)' failed

Before that, there are warnings on startup:

the bugs (opening with non Adwaita theme, saving files[libreoffice]) are "resolved" by
downgrading package gtk3 (3.18.1-1 => 3.16.7-1)

UPDATE : not working !!

Sorry nothing is solved by downgrading to gtk3 3.16.7-1! By downgrading Nautilus (gnome filemanager) is not starting anymore.
In Libreoffice you can set (use libreoffice dialog windows) in preferences as an temporary workaround.
Wait for gtk3 update for resolving this issue.

I open a bug in Gnome bugtracker here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756310

Matthias is asking for a backtrace. Can anybody provide him it?

I think this bug is the same: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756338

It is already fixed. Probably the libs should be patched.

the 'evolution not starting with non-default theme' is fixed with the updated gtk3 3.18.2-1
the 'libreoffice saving with non-libreoffice dialogs' is not

@ogarcia, I may not know what is meant by backtrace, but I provided the output from gdb on the 9th. If that is not adequate to help please provide guidance.

@gps1539 I think that the package owners could help with this cause you need OpenOffice with debugging symbols.
