Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.
If I run an Impress slideshow with Open Office Presenter Console, and switch to the multiple-slide ("slide-sorter") view, I see the list of slides in the slideshow, as expected. But if I use the arrow keys / etc. to change slide, the slide view stays the same, rather than scrolling down to show the currently selected slide.
This is worse when I'm in the middle of the slideshow. If I need to jump slides, the presenter console multi slide view does not follow along and have the current slide already selected.
For instance, if you're on slide 20, and want to jump several slides forwards to answer a question or something, you go to the multiple-slide view, and it has slide number 1 displayed. It hasn't kept track of the fact that you're on slide 20. So, you have to scroll along until you get to the current slide, and then work from there. When you're live in front of an audience these slight delays are a distraction to the presentation.
I'm using Open Office Impress and openoffice.
