Bug Description
When impress is running presentation on secondary displays, it not always display 'over' the uninty menu (at the screen top). This happens if focus is in main impress window (on primary displays) and presentation is running on secondary.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Set up a dual-screen configuration (with different content on each display)
2) Run Impress, open/create presentation
3) Set up in 'Slide Show' -> 'Slide Show Settings' in 'Multiple displays' presentation display (the second one).
4) Run presentation (F5)
5) Press Alt-tab to switch to any other application
6) Return to Impress (all that time presentation is still running on secondary display)
Expect:
Nothing displays over presentation
Got:
Horizontal bar with notification icons, date, login button and so on displayed over running presentation.

I'm not so sure this is actually a bug. When the presentation is focused, it is full screen and is on top of all windows and Unity's menu bar. When another app is focused, it's on top of all other windows and the menu bar is visible since the other app isn't covering the menu bar. This behavior does not even require a second monitor to reproduce.
If this behavior is a bug, I think it should be reported about unity, not libreoffice.
I do admit that it would be convenient to be able to work on a second screen while a presentation is showing on the first screen without the menu bar covering the top few pixels, but the tradeoff is that it might make it impossible to use the menu bar when any app is fullscreen without first un-fullscreening the app.
