            Bug ID: 148402
           Summary: Presentation does not refresh if it's not visible
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.3.1.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Impress
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: kont...@kuba-orlik.name

Steps to reproduce:

Open a presentation and start presenting on a device with a single screen.
Alt+tab to the presenter console. Change the slide.

Expected result: 

The now-invisible window with the fullscreen presentation is refreshed so it
displays the current slide picked in the presenter console.

Actual result: 

The now-invisible window with the fullscreen presentation is not refreshed as
the slides are changed from the Presenter Console. The window is only refreshed
after raising it back to focus.

It seems like it's done to save resources, but it leads to unforeseen
consequences when screensharing. A common practice for me is to open the
presenter console and share the main presentation window with some video
conference software. The main presentation window has to be not in focus, as
I'm using the presenter console overlayed on top of it.

One solution is to display the presentation on a second physical screen, but
that's not always available
