Cannot control slides in Presentation mode when another windows is "Always on top". #527

Expected behaviour

I'm using OBS to stream some slides in Presentation mode. I want to see the stream while changing the slides. Normally you would achieve this using two screens, one with the slides and the other with the stream. Unfortunately, I only have one screen. My solution is to put the stream "Always on Top" (at a slightly smaller size than full screen), and then have the Presentation in the "front" (stream still mostly in front). I expected that with mouse or keyboard could control the presentation but cannot when have window on top.

Actual behaviour

Keyboard or mouse do nothing when another windows is on top.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Select any window in a non-fullscreen size and select "Always on top" Open a file in Presentation mode. Try to change slides. You should not be able to do it.

This is impossible. You can't stack a window on top of the full-sceen or presentation modus. That contradicts itself.
