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
I don't understand how I can see the presenter console with a single screen. Can you explain?
Sure thing. When `org.openoffice.Office.PresenterScreen` is set to `StartAlways`, the Presenter Console will be started even when using a single display. This is super useful when presenting over Zoom, as I can just share the window with the fullscreen slide to the audience, but keep my speaker notes visible on my display at home, all on one screen. So with the `StartAlways` option, start the presentation, alt+tab to the presenter console, go to Zoom or any other screensharing app, share the window with the fullscreen presentation, alt+tab to the presenter console, change to next slide, and see that the audience still sees the first slide. Only after you alt+tab to the window with the fullscreen slide, will the audience see the next slide.

A bit tough to find it: Preference name: Presenter - Property: StartAlways. > So with the `StartAlways` option, start the presentation, alt+tab to the > presenter console, go to Zoom or any other screensharing app, share the > window with the fullscreen presentation, alt+tab to the presenter console, > change to next slide, and see that the audience still sees the first slide. > Only after you alt+tab to the window with the fullscreen slide, will the > audience see the next slide. After alt-tabbing from presenter console to Jitsi, I see the slide has changed, so I guess I can't reproduce what you see.
