I run XFCE as my desktop environment. I have OpenOffice installed with the Presenter Console extension (the one that builds with OO in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install, not a downloaded one, as instructed by the ebuild). I have two screens, a laptop panel and an external (this is nVidia TwinView, though I've seen the same problem on an Intel card), with the laptop panel set as primary screen. When working on a presentation, in Slide Show Settings, I can choose which screen to display the slide show on; the intent is that the presentation console appears on the other screen. However, this seems to depend on where the mouse pointer is: if the mouse pointer is over the laptop panel, I only see the presenter console, but clicking anywhere on the screen advances the show as though the presentation is also displayed in the same place (this happens no matter which screen is selected to show the presentation). If the mouse pointer is over the external screen, the settings are obeyed properly, with the console appearing on one screen and the show on the other.

Is this a duplicate of bug 321371 ?
(In reply to comment #1) > Is this a duplicate of bug 321371 ? > I'm not sure, but it doesn't look like it. Everything renders properly AFAICT, it just doesn't show up in the right place.
Did you try this with 3.2.1?
(In reply to comment #3) > Did you try this with 3.2.1? > Or Xfce 4.8 (which is stable now). Please try and reopen this bug if the problem is still there.
No, latest stable OpenOffice (3.2.1-r1) and XFCE (4.8.0) still have exactly the same problem.
This still happens with the latest stable LibreOffice and XFWM4.
This should be fixed in libreoffice-3.5 where you can specify what screen does what and hardcode it. Please retest.
Close "pending testing" as per Comment #7. You always have the possibility of reopening this bug or filing a new bug.
Sorry for the delay; this got lost under some stuff. Retested and the problem still exists (this time tested with two external monitors): LibreOffice application on the primary display, presentation monitor set to "Display 1 (primary)" in Slide Show Settings, mouse cursor over the secondary when pressing F5, presentation console appears on secondary, LO application window stays visible on primary, clicking anywhere on secondary advances slide show. You mention something about being able to specify what screen does what and hardcode it in LO 3.5. Is this something other than the normal Slide Show Settings dialogue? That's all I noticed and tried using, same as in previous versions.
Is this still a problem in Libreoffice 4.1.3 ?
(In reply to Andreas K. Hüttel from comment #10) > Is this still a problem in Libreoffice 4.1.3 ? Yes. I am now using two external screens (HDMI primary plus VGA secondary) and can reproduce the problem. Here are the possible options listed in the Slide Show Settings Presentation Display dropdown and what they do: “Display 2 (external)”: With mouse over HDMI panel, presenter console appears there and slide show appears on VGA, works properly. With mouse over VGA panel, presenter console appears on VGA and nothing appears on HDMI. “Display 1”: With mouse over HDMI panel, slide show appears on HDMI and presenter console on VGA, works properly. With mouse over VGA panel, presenter console appears there and nothing appears on HDMI. “Display 2” (yes, this is in the list along with “Display 2 (external)”): Behaviour is identical to “Display 2 (external)”. “All Displays”: With mouse over either panel, slide show appears on that panel and nothing appears on other panel. In no case does the slide show actually appear on both outputs, and in no case does the presenter console appear anywhere. As an aside, the Exchange button in the presenter console also appears to suffer from this problem—if the console is on VGA, then obviously the mouse pointer must also be on VGA in order to click that button, and having done so, HDMI ends up displaying nothing.
Just bumping the versions, really. There are now four options in the dropdown, which are slightly different to those that used to show up; however, the bug still exists. Behaviour is described. “Auto External (Display 2)”: With mouse over HDMI output, shows presenter console on that output and slides on VGA output. With mouse over VGA output, shows presenter console on VGA output and nothing on HDMI output. “Display 1”: With mouse over HDMI output, shows slides on that output and presenter console on VGA output. With mouse over VGA output, shows presenter console on VGA output and nothing on HDMI output. “Display 2 (external)”: Identical behaviour to “Auto External (Display 2)”. “All Displays”: Regardless of mouse position, slides spread across both outputs, with no presenter console. So it looks like finally All Displays is working properly, but the others still aren’t working entirely properly if the mouse pointer starts out over the VGA output. The Exchange button in the Presenter Console will now move the presenter console to VGA. If clicked while the console (and hence mouse pointer) are over HDMI, the slides move back to HDMI. If clicked while on VGA, the slides vanish completely and the presenter console stays on VGA rather than moving back to HDMI. Also, the mouse click behaviour has changed. Now, when things are only showing up on one screen, instead of the clicks appearing to go to the slides, they now appear to go to the presenter console.
Xfce-4.12 is supposed to improve multi-monitor handling. You might want to try that as soon as it is in portage.
Sorry for waiting so long to report this, but no, the problem is still around.
Any news with LO 5.4.3.2 and xfwm4-4.13?
Sorry for the delay; it took a while to finish the profile 17.0 world rebuild and then build new LO and XFWM to test. Anyway, fixed in xfce-base/xfwm4-4.12.4.
