Thank you very much for your answer. I should have been more clear: my purpose is to scribble during a lecture/seminar, in a way as much similar as possible to the way I use to write on the blackboard (I do not care about textual interpretations: most of what I write is mathematics, and hence it cannot be interpreted by any ocr-like software). The main point is that to me it is important to write in "real time", without any need of editing or selecting. But while writing fast (tablet), it happens quite often that the next stroke is too close to the previous one, so that instead of adding the stroke I meant, the previous stroke is moved away. This can be fixed if I am simply annotating the article, but it is not good for the audience of a seminar. Also the question about the selected last object frame was on the same line: it is a necessary feature in editing mode, but it might be not so in presentation mode. So basically the question could have been whether it is possible to take a proper subset of the features available in the normal mode and to make them available in presentation mode, but probably this would qualify as a feature request and not a question.
