I have completed a full install of Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 on to the Dell Studio 15 laptop (ATI graphics), and then fully updated the software. The bug behaviour has changed slightly: I was able to run the test presentation file twice through but the slide transitions were very poor quality, then Impress crashed as before on the third time through the show. The slide transitions are hard to describe, they are not a smooth fade but are very blocky, jagged, mixed up, as if several transition effects were being used at the same time, all on top of each other.

It does NOT affect Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Lubuntu, or earlier versions. Create a slide show of four or more slides. Set all slides to use the smooth Fade transition, and to automatically change after approx' 10 seconds. Libreoffice will crash after the second or third transition. Starting the Impress application from the terminal gives the following error messages:- javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment! Warning: failed to read path from javaldx (soffice:4497): Gtk-WARNING **: Allocating size to OOoFixed 0x55e904d49e40 without calling gtk_widget_get_preferred_width/height(). How does the code know the size to allocate? Application Error Please note that all of the above versions (17.04) were run from live USB or live DVD, not from a full install. Turning hardware acceleration on/off has no effect. Turning presenter console on/off has no effect. This bug is repeatable on a Dell Studio 15 laptop which has Intel Core2Duo cpu, and ATI mobile radeon HD4530/4570/545v graphics.
