Description

Description

When Apple Keynote is in fullscreen presentation mode, the zoom function firstly can be a bit glitchy (flashing of screen before zoom). But more importantly the drawing mode cannot be triggered using mouse click, the click causes the presenter view on the non-presentation display to flash. In Powerpoint this all works great.

Current Behavior
  • Glitchy zoom
  • Drawing mode fails
Expected Behavior
  • Smooth zoom
  • Drawing mode works
Steps to Reproduce
  1. Run Keynote on a two display setup
  2. Go into fullscreen presentation with presenter mode
  3. Try to use Zoomit to zoom and draw on a slide.
Product Version

12.3

macOS Version

macOS 27 public beta 4

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with Apple Keynote 12.3 on macOS 27 using two displays, presenter mode, zoom, and drawing. Trace the macOS input and presentation-mode handling for zoom and drawing; done means zoom no longer flashes and drawing can be triggered without the presenter view flashing, while PowerPoint behavior remains working.
