Description andybstaples 2013-07-09 13:22:07 UTC 
Problem description: Viewing a slide show on two screens. The presenter clicks on a hyperlink to a batchfile on the presenter's screen. Nothing happens until the mouse is moved to the presentee's screen

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a presentation that has a hyperlink to a batch file in it
2. Run the slide show (F5)
3. In the presenter's window, go to the slide with the hyperlink on it
4. Click the link.

Current behavior: 
The batch file is not run until the presenter moves the mouse into the presentee's window (the main slide show window).

Expected behavior:
The batch file should run immediately from where ever the link is clicked.

Sub-issue:
Mouse icon does not change to a hand when hovering over hypertext on presenter's window. 

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.0.4.2 release

Hello.. Does it solved in LO 4.2.5.2 or 4.3.0.1? 

If no please change status back to UNCONFIRMED & give more details about last situation, otherwise RESOLVED WORKSFORME
Comment 2 andybstaples 2014-07-02 15:58:02 UTC 
The issue persists in version 4.3.0.1:

There isn't more I can add, my original report says it all I think.

1. Requirement: Impress on a computer with two monitors
2. Open a presentation that has a link (I have a link to a batch file) on some page
3. Run the presentation (F5)
4. On the Presenter's screen, the "control screen", click the link
5. You'll notice the action does not get generated until the mouse is scrolled to the other monitor, the Presentation screen.

Further details found in original report.

Comment 5 andybstaples 2014-07-21 18:20:57 UTC 
So, place the batch file in your root C drive (I'm presuming Windows). Open the presentation with LibreOffice. Enter presentation mode (press F5). Click the link from the presenter's screen... the link won't fire (calculator won't start) until the mouse is moved to the Presentation screen (the audience's screen)

Thanks Andy, a test file is most helpful (as always).

OS X 10.9.4, LO 4.3.0.3 I can confirm that when F5 showing the test file presentation in a two monitor setup, the link does nothing when clicked on the presenters screen.

On OS X I then get a nice error message that no default browser would be defined (which is not true, chromium is the default browser here) as soon as I move the mouse over to the second screen showing the presentation.

So OS: all, state: NEW. Imo rather serious issue so setting to major, since for me it causes LO to hang or at least do nothing when clicking that link.

Since integration in 3.3. Repro in 6.0+. Trivial.

Dear andybstaples,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

If you have time, please do the following:
