I'm sorry I couldn't attend the meeting. By the way, who participated

The thumbnail is not highlighted if the current slide is not part of the
visible set of slides on the slide page - which is the scenario for which this
bug was filed.

Indeed, it is possible to do some mental work, estimate the position of the
slider on the scroll bar, divide N by M, and conclude whether you should scroll
up or down, with a good chance of being correct. But that really is too much
work, not to mention you need to scroll up by just the right amount, which, in
a long slideshow is itself a bit of effort.

... and that's what I'm asking for. There's empty screen real-estate for it as
well.

No. That is, yes, if the slide also loses focus, then things are even worse,
but I filed this issue even for when the slide _is_ focused on the pane - it's
just that the slide may be focused, but not in view.

I don't know about that, and it's certainly not what I'm asking for with this
issue. Please open a separate issue for avoiding loss of focus for the current
slide - but it's not the problem here.

> Recommendation is to change the summary into "Keep active slide in focus". 

Again, separate bug.

I don't believe you could seriously argue that doing integer division for
estimating scrolling extents is something that "works for you".
