5.0.0.4 x64 under Win 8.1x64. Installs fine. Open Impress, open Master Slide View panel, wait for available master slides to appear. Slides don't appear after a 10 or 15 minute wait - during this time all menu dropdown panels are blank so any attempt to close Impress normally fails and I have to close via Task Manager. Uninstalled and re-installed cleanly. Same problem that renders Impress unusable. Looks very similar to bug 91635 which is labelled Resolved but not in my case.
Created attachment 117438 [details] master pages panel screenshot retested under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.0.0.4 (x64) Build ID: cf112dc905650fb985306a7a03d2fe3fcc6c978f Versione locale: en-US (it_IT) now I understand better what the bug is about though I'm not still reproducing it 100%. the master page panel thumbnails do not load immediately and I see a "loading preview" text instead of them... this is a regression towards the 4.4.x branch. the thumbs do not generate event after waiting some minutes but I've found a workaround... just click on another panel, then move back to the master pages panel and you'll see all the thumbnails. see my attached screenshot. what I still don't see is the issue of the dropdown menu panels? would you please upload a screenshot so I can exactly see what you mean?
my PC has an AMD A8 processor, AMD Radeon R5 graphic card, 8 GB RAM and Samsung SSD 840 EVO 500G Disk. would you please tell your system's specification? I also can close Impress immediately even when the thumbs are still not loaded yet.

thanks for screenshots. I confirm I don't see those issues on my PC. did you try resetting the user profile? see instructions here: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile I see something strange with the first icons of the toolbar which don't match the Breeze theme (which is not the default theme on Windows) so I suspect that the old profile was not purged after uninstalling and reinstalling and please, tell your system specs as asked in comment 2. you can use Speccy to do that: https://www.piriform.com/speccy
It crashes for me when I try to close LibO. Unknown exception. I'm not sure, how to get a backtrace.. Something is not right, so setting to NEW. Win 7 Pro 64-bit Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+ Build ID: 902255645328efde34ddf62227c8278e8dd61ff0 TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2015-07-30_03:52:07 Locale: en-US (fi_FI)
Seems to work now. We can always change back to NEW, if it happens again. This seems to be related: bug 94370
