Hello community :)

I think I found the reason of this behavior. I have several virtual desktops on
my mac. To create additional desktops :
- put 3 fingers on the trackpad, scroll up
- bring the mouse in the upper right corner and click on the + sign as many
times as you want to add desktops

And I affected my libreoffice application to one of these desktops.

Before Mavericks, when you have multiple displays, each display has the same
number of desktops, assuming that a given desktop spans over all the displays.
Libreoffice remaining in only one desktop, it has access to both displays. My
setup being presentation screen on external display, and presenter screen on
the main/laptop  display, it worked fine.

Mavericks introduced a new way of dealing with multiple screens (and probably
desktops). After having upgraded on Mavericks, I still could see my multiple
desktops on the main screen (laptop screen) ; but got only one desktop on the
external screen. I'm therefore guessing that the desktops do not span anymore
on the multiple screens.

So if I affect the libreoffice windows to one specific desktop as I did on
Mountain Lion (right click on the libreoffice icon on the dock / option /
assign to this desktop) ; all libreoffice windows remain stuck to what is now
this desktop i.e. only on the main screen and not anymore to the external
screen.

My thought is that Apple changed the way desktops are defined ; as they are now
limited to a given display, and not spanning over all displays. Libreoffice
being assigned to one desktop, all its windows are forced to be displayed on
this desktop only.

The funny thing is related to the "scaling issue" that I initially reported. As
I understand it, the presentation screen seems to be sized according to the
resolution of the second monitor, whereas it is actually displayed on the main
screen.

I have compared the behavior of other application such as Apple Keynote. Even
though it is assigned to a given desktop, the presentation window is displayed
in the second screen, with the resolution of this second screen.

When I do not affect Libreoffice to a desktop anymore, the dual display feature
works as expected : presentation screen on the external display, presenter
screen on the main/laptop screen.

Thanks

OS : OSX 10.9.1
Libreoffice : 4.1.5.3 with french language package
Issue still present on this Libreoffice version.
