MS ppt causing ddual display issues in v4 but not v3

HW: MacBook PRO (Intel)  OS:  OSX 10.6.8 using Spaces for dual monitors.

LibreOffice Presentation causes output to be split in mid-slide between the MBP builtin monitor and the second (DVI) monitor attached.  This causes the slide to be unreadable on both monitors as they are different sizes, although the scaling is correct.

The same presentation works with a prior version of LibreOffice 3.5.5.2 and will place the presentation correctly on the second (larger) display.  Secondary display is Cinema HD 1920x1200.  To the best of my knowledge, no changes to the OSX have been made, and OSx 10.6 has been retained as Lion does a poor job with multiple displays.  The original way LibreOffice and predecessor, Openoffice handled this was very good.

Walt: for the test, could you give a try to the prerelease 4.1.3? (see http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/)

Julien,

Downloaded the prerelease, (Version: 4.1.3.2 Build ID: 70feb7d99726f064edab)

Works perfectly, and I think better than the v3 release.  Thanks very much. Problem solved.  I will continue using the 4.1.3.2 version on both OSx 10.6 and Lion.
