            Bug ID: 133429
           Summary: Loss of critical functionality - use a single screen
                    display - please restore this
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: derek at dkeats.com

Until recently, it used to be possible to display a presentation on a single
screen without tying up the other screen. With the latest releases, this
functionality has been removed. 

This makes Libreoffice unsuitable for many common use cases, not least of which
being presenting in Zoom and other applications where screenshare is needed but
where some functionality of other applications on the other screen is also
needed. 

Common uses cases include:

1. Streaming where you need to access both the streaming application and
display the presentation full screen on the other monitor
2. Video recording from a presentation where you need to control audio and
video applications from one screen and Libreoffice presentation needs to be on
another screen.

Given that these are VERY VERY VERY common use cases, it seems strange to
remove this highly important functionality. Other presentation applications
allow this, and especially in this day of working from home, the loss of this
functionality is catastrophic.
