[openlp-dev] Default value for behaviour of next/previous slide action

[Ian Knight]

For me, if I disable that option and accidentally navigate past the end 
of the slideshow (to the 'end of presentation, click to exit' page), it 
breaks PowerPoint and/or LibreOffice (can't remember which atm) and 
requires me to unload and reload the presentation to be able to continue 
navigating within it.

This setting prevents that from happening & I suspect that was the 
reason for the option.
