Description: When I press F5 or click "Start from first Slide" to start a slide show, my entire system crashes (freezes). This seems to happen only when my laptop is connected to a projector with an HDMI connection. I can enter slide show mode without problems when the laptop is not connected to a projector. I estimate that the problem happens over 50% of the times that I start a slide show. The freeze happens immediately upon pressing F5 or clicking the "Start from first Slide" icon. I can project other applications and the Ubuntu desktop just fine via the HDMI connection. I don't have access to a VGA connection to test whether HDMI is the only connection method causing the crash. This problem seems to have started with version 6.06, as I've been using Impress for years on the same laptop with HDMI without problems. Thanks for otherwise awesome FOSS software. I use Impress daily and am grateful to devs for maintaining it. LibreOffice 6.0.6.2 running on Ubuntu 18.04. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Impress 2. Open an odp file 3. Plug in HDMI into laptop 4. Press F5 or click corresponding icon Actual Results: System freezes immediately. Screen stays on, but no mouse movement or keyboard activity takes place. Expected Results: Full screen slide show Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: I am reluctant to upgrade to 6.1, but if the issue was fixed by 6.1, I can give it a try. A work-around seems to be to wait to plug the HDMI cord into the laptop until AFTER Impress is in full-screen presentation mode.
