Somehow, we at WRI seem to have completely neglected to make any slide
shows with internal hyperlinks (probably because slide show content, by
its very nature, is just less likely to need internal hyperlinks), and so
we never saw this problem.
We'll fix it in a future version of Mathematica, but in the mean time,
here's a workaround. The workaround is not exactly perfect...it can cause
flashing on screen and may not put the scrollbar in exactly the right
place...but it does work.
With the slide show you're editing open, perform the following steps:
* Format->Edit Style Sheet... Choose Import Private Copy (unless you
want to modify the global style sheet, which I wouldn't recommend unless
you need this in a lot of notebooks).
* In the stylesheet, open the Hyperlinks group. Open the group for the
Hyperlink style with that.
* Place the cell insertion point after the prototype for the Hyperlink
style and copy/paste the following in (pressing Yes when asked whether to
interpret the cell):
Cell[StyleData["Hyperlink", "SlideShow"],
ButtonBoxOptions->{ButtonFunction:>(FrontEndExecute[ {
CompoundExpression[
FrontEnd`SetOptions[
FrontEnd`ButtonNotebook[ ], ScrollingOptions -> {
"PagewiseDisplay" -> False}],
FrontEnd`NotebookLocate[ #2],
FrontEnd`SetOptions[
FrontEnd`ButtonNotebook[ ], ScrollingOptions -> {
"PagewiseDisplay" -> Inherited}]]}]&)}]
* Close the style sheet, then save your slideshow notebook. Internal
hyperlinks should now work.
