What's EditView? Would it be possible you attach a screencast by using this link https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=162771&action=enter ?
Hi! I'll try to record both screens at once, which seems problematic. I'll see what I can come up with. For now I can send you a screenshot of the 'EditView' https://imgur.com/O0oQ2SU which is just the place you create the slides. If you run the presentation you are able to edit it by changing the EditView and the presentation will update it immediately after pressing enter. This works, if there is no animation present.
Ok so to reproduce this, one needs to have 2 monitors, is that it?
We have two monitors to see the presentation and the presenter notes. After creating the presentation this will be used on an overhead projector and the presenter notes are shown on separate screen. See https://imgur.com/Ebk3qpR for our working setup. Afaik it isn't possible to see the presentation and the presenter notes without two screens.

So this is about this new feature: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/24.8#Impress "By default, the running Slideshow Presentation is immediately updated when applying changes in EditView or in PresenterConsole, even on different Screens. It can be switched on/off using Slide Show ▸ Slide Show Settings... ▸ Live-mode slideshow editing. (Armin Le Grand, allotropia)" Xavier: it is possible to show the presenter console even with a single screen. Go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Advanced. Click Open Expert Configuration. Input StartAlways into the search box and click Search. Then double click the property that is shown, so its value turns from false to true. Click OK. Now presenter console will always open. To revert, go back to the expert config and double-click it back to false. Does the crash happen with this setting and a single screen? I tried it just now and it did not crash. To get a backtrace of the crash, you would need a debug build. Unfortunately we don't provide debug builds for Windows right now, so you would have to build it yourself.
