Description Rafael Lima 2023-08-31 18:00:00 UTC 
In Impress, the Slides Pane shows a preview of all slides. When you're editing the current slide, the preview only updates after you exit the object being edited.

For instance, while you're editing the main text in a slide, the preview will not update while editing. It'll only update after you leave the text box.

I propose we add a timer so that the preview can be updated while editing... maybe every 2 seconds.

Repro in:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b3fdd999f87312447d03915585812b3a5cd48141
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Same in OOo 3.3.
Setting to Low priority as it's cosmetic.

Testing other suites:
- with Office.com, the preview is updated when there's a long-enough pause in typing.
- with OnlyOffice, the preview is very regularly update, less than a 2-secon delay.
