Slide advance failing on PowerPoint after hyperlink

Question

I suspect this issue is related to this thread about PowerPoint freezing:

Like many, I had the above issue and resolved it using the ‘reinstall Office and hold off on update 14.3.2’ method.  However, now I have encountered another interesting and equally frustrating issue, which I suspect maybe related to how Microsoft Office and OSX talk to each other about resource sharing. 
The Scenario:
I have a PowerPoint presentation (lets call it PP1) with read only content.  It has a slide with a hyperlink to another PowerPoint presentation, which is editable (say PP2).  In presentation mode the normal operation should be that slides in PP1 advance, using a presenter, mouse, trackpad or the keyboard.  On arriving at the slide with the hyperlink, clicking on the link should launch PP2.  At the conclusion of the slides in PP2 or pressing escape, the presentation should return to the launch point in PP1.  From here the presentation advance should continue in PP1 as though nothing happens.
This was certainly the process in the past (pre the 14.3.2 upgrade issue).
The Problem:
What actually happens is all works well in PP1.  PP2 launches correctly and runs correctly via the hyperlink and also returns correctly to the point of origin.  However the only way to advance PP1 is to press a key and then move the mouse, or trackpad.  Each subsequent advance until the presentation is ended also requires the combination of an advance instruction and a pointer movement.  It is as though the two resources have been together with an AND function so that the only way the advance instruction is accepted is for both actions to be input to the system.
The extent of the Problem:
I have successfully re-created the problem using two simple PPTX files with no read only protection and no large graphics that tie up memory etc, with just a simple hyperlink. Results the same.
I have tried on both my MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.  Results the same. 
I have tried on a Windows machine using the same files.  No errors, all works correctly.
I have tried downloading Parallels and loaded Windows and PowerPoint, using the same files.  No errors, all works correctly. 
I would be very keen to hear from anyone who has had the same experience, or is willing to have a go a recreating the same conditions to see if you get the same failure.
Of course, anyone who has a definitive solution, please share, thanks.

Answer 1

Further to the above, I initially related this issue and discussion to the upgrade issue associated with version 14.3.2.  Refer to:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4804874?start=0&tstart=0
As all would be aware a new upgrade was released last week (14.3.4).  Given that I linked the freezing issue with this hyperlink failure, I thought it would be worth reporting that while 14.3.4 appears, in my experience at least, to have addressed the freezing issue, this problem remains unresolved for me.
I will post this comment on the MS forum and re-submit feedback to Microsoft, but I would like to hear from anyone with a similar experience.
