            Bug ID: 131068
           Summary: Presentation does not show on external display, but on
                    main display
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: thdeppner at gmx.de

Description:
LO 6.4.1.2, Mac OS 10.15.3

When starting a presentation with the LO window on my main (laptop) screen, the
presentation does not show on the connected external screen, but on the main
screen "in front" of the Presenter Console (which can be seen by using Mac OS's
"Mission Control" screen) and with a distorted resolution (I assume it's the
resolution of the external screen).

Workaround: When moving the main window to the external screen and starting the
presentation, everything works as expected (presenter console on main screen,
presentation on external screen). However, this way the audience sees the open
file and I can't edit it "in the background" while the presentation is running
or open other LO files easily while the presentation is running.

I'm pretty sure this bug is rather recent; I did not use Impress for a couple
of months but did not have any problems in December '19.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to an external screen
2. Open an LO Impress file
3. Have the presenter console enabled (default)
4. Start presentation (hit F5)

Actual Results:
Presentation opens on main screen "in front of" presenter console; resolution
is distorted.

Expected Results:
Presentation opens on external screen while main screen shows presenter
console. 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
