Bug Description

With a PP file set to continuously loop, like in a welcome presentation, Power Ppoint(im guessing) seems to get focus stolen from itself and the slide freezes when opening and playing with other Apps. I cant seem to reproduce it consistently but it does happen often, and simply clicking on PP or on the slide that is supposed to be running withing OpenLP, the presentation continues as it is supposed to. Not a big deal, but thought it might be interesting to look into. :) Might be an MS PP issue entirely?
Im not even sure if this is anything OpenLP can resolve? Thanks for all of the hard work :)

It also happens sometimes when just moving around within the OpenLP app itself to get a verse or something like that.

This is sadly a "feature" of PowerPoint, in that it insists on having focus to auto advance. It would be a tough one to address.
