Eek! Adding an attachment deletes unsaved comments?!

OK. I just wrote a very detailed explanation of why full screen mode isn't
right here. Short version: it does not treat the document as consisting of
slides to be presented one after another, uncovered incrementally and so on.
Instead, it treats them as pages of a document. I don't want to scroll through
my slides when I'm presenting. All the usual presentation conventions apply -
my slides are just more interactive than most.

Moreover, presentation mode automatically adjusts the slide to the display
dimensions; full screen mode just cuts stuff off. Presentation mode hides menu
bars, tools etc. automatically; full screen mode does not. Presentation mode
does not alter the default viewing set up of all my other pdfs; full screen
mode apparently does.

Basically, full screen mode is not suitable for a presentation and presentation
mode is. These are presentations - slides - and not regular documents. Even if
I adjusted the page dimensions to exactly scale, it would render my slides
hardware specific and that's no good. (Not even sure you can do this with the
beamer package.)

Perhaps an example will help. Please find a schematic attached which I created
for another developer working on a different viewer. This was created with the
beamer latex package and features various form elements. It is also very
clearly a set of slides designed as a presentation. (At least, it would be if
it were not so schematic.)

If you cannot or choose not to implement this feature, that's fine. But please
do not tell me that what I "really want" is full screen mode. It is not.
