    this is happening to me too. i can still open the powerpoint file, but it opens in full screen mode. when i try to exit full screen mode, it exits from the entire file.

    thought about doing that, but it doesn't solve the problem for all future powerpoint files downloaded. i don't want to have to change the extension on every file
