Hello,

Keynote seems to be completely broken for me when using an external display to present a keynote presentation. Maybe someone can confirm following behaviour:
It you open a keynote presentation und have an external monitor connected, keynote crashes instantly when disconnecting the display OR ending the presentation. I get the beachball and have to force quit keynote.

Of course i did the usual things (rebooting, quitting keynote, test different scenarios) but nothing works reliable.
I work in a school environment and this makes keynote completely unusable for me. Did not have this behaviour before 12.3.

EDIT: Setup:
- MacBook Pro 14 (2021)
- Connecting to several external Displays / beamers over HDMI AND Airplay (both affected the same way)

- Does not seem to happen with my home-setup (external 4K-Display over USB-C)

12.3 Seems to also forget active corners with every restart ...

Thanks in advance.

Update: 12.4 seems to have fixed the problem. Since Yesterday I did not have a single freeze with keynote. Maybe this is useful for someone.
