Description: With 3 monitors of different resolutions, Impress Slideshow in presentation mode does not select the Windows defined Main Desktop for either Presenter Screen or Presentation. Presentation screen can still be configured with the Slideshow -> Slideshow Settings -> Presentation Screen dropdown With this configuration, Impress can be configured to use screen 1 and 2, swapped from their intended screens. Pressing the Exchange button switches to screen 3. See Attached Pics. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have 3 screens For me #1=1366x768, #2 (Main Display)=2048x1152, #3=3840x2160 2.In Windows Display Settings select screen #2 and check "Make this my main display" 3.Open a presentation in Impress and start slideshow Actual Results: The slideshow starts on its defined screen. Presenter/Notes screen starts on Screen 3. Expected Results: Presenter/Notes Screen displays on Main Display. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I've tried 3 previous 64 bit versions (7.1.8 was the earliest); 32bit 7.3.6; and 64bit 7.4.2 and 7.4.2.3 all with the same results. If I set the presentation to the main screen, I can get the slideshow and presenter screens on the 2 monitors I wish to use, but not on the correct screens. Clicking the Exchange button does not swap them. It switches to screen #3. (Possibly a separate bug?) It doesn't seem to be related to resolution as I can reduce screen #3 to 1280x1024 and still have the same results. Screen 2 is VGA and screen 3 is HDMI.

I get some different results when testing with 3 displays on Ubuntu 20.04. The GNOME display settings show me the following numbering: 1 - built-in 2 - external, HDMI 3 - external, VGA It behaved normally with the built-in display (number 1) set as the primary display. I could pick any screen for the presentation, and the primary screen would be prioritised for the presenter console when it wasn't the presentation display. However, if I switch the primary display to external monitor number 2, LibreOffice starts confusing the numbers: - Presenting on "display 1" actually presents on display 2 (the primary display), console on display 1 - Presenting on "display 2 (external)" actually presents on display 1, console on display 2 - Presenting on "display 3" was correct (and put the console on the primary display) Finally, using the display 3 as the primary: - Presenting on "display 1 (external)" actually presents on display 2, console on display 1 - Presenting on "display 2" actually presents on display 1, console on display 2 - Presenting on "display 3" correctly presents on display 3 (and puts the console on display 2) In summary, in my tests: LibreOffice gets the labelling of the two first displays wrong when the built-in display is *not* set as the primary display. I can also see the incorrect behaviour of the Exchange button when Display 3 is involved: display three is dropped and the presentation + console end up on displays 1 and 2. This should probably be reported separately. Two questions: - Does LO behave normally when you have your built-in display as the main display? - Does LO get the numbering of screens wrong?
With 3 monitors in Windows 1 internal set primary 2 external VGA (2048x1152) 3 external HDMI 4k With Presentation Display set to: Auto External (Display 2) the default -Presentation on screen 3 -Presenter mode is on Display 1 (Primary Screen) Display 1 -Presentation on Display 1 (Primary/internal) -Presenter Mode on Display 3 Display 2 (External) -Presentation on Display 3 -Presenter Mode on Display 1 (Primary/internal) Display 3 -Presentation on Display 2 -Presenter Mode on Display 1 -Note: Exchange at this point switches Presentation to Display 1 and Presenter Mode to screen 3
Sorry. To answer the questions: - Does LO behave normally when you have your built-in display as the main display? Yes. Presentation is on Screen 1 and Presenter Mode on Screen 3. Exchange also works swapping screen 1 and 3. - Does LO get the numbering of screens wrong? It appears that LO may just be confusing the numbers when external displays are set as the primary.

This sounds very similar to bug 152383. If yes, please set this as duplicate.
