When using the Alt+P key during a video in the presentation mode, the key combination works only intermittently. Alt+P It seems quite inconsistent and "buggy". Using the mouse to start and stop the video during a presentation is also very aquard and frequently causes the slide to advance instead of pausing the video. Is there something I am doing wrong or is this just the way it is.
