Looks perfect to me.

Upon further experiments, it seems it is not multiple monitors per se that
causes this, but rather “Presenter console” that can only be shown when there
are multiple monitors in place.

When “Presenter console” is “Disabled”, Impress behaves perfectly, with one new
object (Polyline with 15 corners) per PEN line.

When “Presenter console” is “Fullscreen” or “Windowed”, the problem reproduces,
tens of different objects are created per PEN line.

One would guess that since “Presenter console” has a small mirror image of what
is happening on main “Presenter display”, including “Mouse pointer as pen”
drawings in real time, perhaps, “Presenter console” wrestles away control/focus
from “Presenter display”, thereby interrupting/interfering with LibreOffice
Impress ability to focus on saving contiguous PEN line as a singe object.
