Description Tobias G. 2022-03-07 12:43:52 UTC

SUMMARY
Hey there,
I recently switched from X11 to Wayland and tried to record my screen using obs, it showed the option to record a window or display using pipewire, it also asks me to select a screen, but unfortunately, I can't interact with it.
I can't select an entry, not with the mouse nor the keyboard.
Since the dialog looks very plasma-ish and also shows a kde logo in the top left, I suspected it was a KDE dialog.
I have an nvidia graphics card using proprietary drivers

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start a wayland session
2. open obs
3. try to select a display or window to record

OBSERVED RESULT
can't interact with the screen/window selection window

EXPECTED RESULT
can select window / screen

For me this works okay (except that it reacts poorly to double clicks, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=451240). I can click on an item and then click the "Share" button.

The actual recording doesn't work on my Nvidia system but works on my Intel system, but that's a different issue

OK, I restarted the system, now it works - I don't know what caused it, still weird.
But at least now "fixed" I guess :D
