I ran into this problem today with LO Version: 6.4.7.2. (Both the crashes and the jagged, flickering transitions.) Is it possible that this was never fixed?

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().
