Re: HTML Slidy remote - a Presentation API demo

Hi Francois,

Alright!

I do not know why these bugs did not show up in other situations but since they depended on how fast the code ran, it's not that surprising that it only showed up in certain contexts.

Thank you! That fixed running your demo for me. I can now view and navigate the slides in the secondary window...

…however, my Chromium build with the Presentation API simulation does not open on the secondary screen yet. I will try to find out why that is. It might be that our implementation is incomplete for the case where the window.open happens asynchronously, decouple from the click event.
