Description: When I have slide show running with slides changing automatically after a fix period of time, if I switch to another LibreOffice application (i.e. Calc or Writer), the slide show pauses. I have to reselect the slide show for the timer to resume and the next slide appear as expected. It happens in full "presenter" mode and in "windowed" mode. It doesn't happen if I select a program outside LibreOffice's Suite. It happens about 9 times out of 10. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a slide show containing slides set to change after a certain amount of time. 2. Switch to another program in LibreOffice's Suite. 3. Look at the slide show while it's frozen (if it doesn't happen, simply switch back and forth from Impress to another app from LibreOffice's Suite, and it will eventually happen). 4. Select the slide show (refocus it's window) for the timer to resume. Actual Results: The timer for timed slides pauses, so the slide doesn't change as expected. Expected Results: The timer should keep on going.

I repro on Win and Linux, already in 3.3.0. Per Eleonora's comment in bug 143840, I decided to test with Base. The slide show does not pause when switching to Base! I tested all the others as well.
