Libreoffice-draw crashing

libreoffice-draw packages are not installed in BL by default.

When I install libreoffice-draw

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  libsdl-net1.2
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libcdr-0.1-1 libfreehand-0.1-1 libmspub-0.1-1 libpagemaker-0.0-0 libqxp-0.0-0 libvisio-0.1-1 libzmf-0.0-0
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcdr-0.1-1 libfreehand-0.1-1 libmspub-0.1-1 libpagemaker-0.0-0 libqxp-0.0-0 libreoffice-draw libvisio-0.1-1 libzmf-0.0-0
0 upgraded, 8 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
1 not fully installed or removed.
Need to get 4,126 kB of archives.
After this operation, 17.1 MB of additional disk space will be used.

And I open libreoffice draw either directly, or via libreoffice Start Center, or opening libreoffice-writer and then creating a new Drawing document, or libreoffice in the terminal
EXPECTED:
Then I should see libreoffice draw open
ACTUAL:
But libreoffice-draw crashes, then automatically attempts to recover an empty document, crashes again, and repeats infinitely.
See screenshots.

Running libreoffice in the terminal provides no additional error messages when the app crashes.
I do receive a warning because I have no Java runtime installed, but do not expect this to be the cause:

Warning: failed to launch javaldx - java may not function correctly

Libreoffice Writer and Calc continue to work as normal.

Re: Libreoffice-draw crashing

I saw this older solution at Reddit, may still apply?

 sudo apt-get install default-jre libreoffice-java-common

Re: Libreoffice-draw crashing

I can't confirm, but I'm using the Carbon test ISO. I insstalled libreoffice-draw via Synaptic Package Manager, it instantly appeared in jgmenu, launched...

I don't care what you do at home. Would you care to explain?
