Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 16334
slide show runs on incorrect desktop with extended dekstop enabled
Last modified: 2008-05-18 00:04:29 UTC
When running the presentation application on the secondary monitor of an extended windows desktop, and you choose to view the slideshow, the slideshow appears on the primary display instead of the seconday display. i.e. using a laptop with a data projector, and the windows desktop is extended to the dataprojector. the presentation is dragged over to the extended desktop on the projector (which is fine) but when it is viewed as a slideshow, the presentation appears in full screen mode on the LCD display, not the data projector windows xp sp1, on IBM thinkpad G40, intel 82855 graphics GME chipset(driver version 6.13.1.3485) see also issue 16331 re: menu problems when running on extended desktop
Reassigned to Christian.
I don't have such a system so it will take some time to reproduce this bug.

This is not a bug but a feature. We should support 'Dual-Head' display.
I just want to confirm the problem for version 1.9.122 : I'm using a laptop (XP SP2) which is branched to a 19'' LCD monitor in the extended desktop mode. When opening OO it will always open on the primary screen (laptop). when draggin the window to the secondary screen (LCD) and then performing a slide show, the slide show will open on the primary screen. I can also confirm problems with menus. In generally extended desktop, with all programs I have used up to now, works rarely 100%, there are always at least some problems with the menues. However, with most programs problems can be minimizes when a) opening the program, dragging the window to the second screen, then exiting the program. The majority of programs will, when reopened in the same session, open on the screen where they have been closed, that is here the second screen. Doing this most of the menu problems disappear. OpenOffice, however, will always open on the first screen. I gues that is what creates the problems with the slide show and the menus Oliver
