A different bug I just encountered and am about to report is making me think that it's relevant that I have a top panel. It's about the same width as the vertical offset of the recording from the requested location. As confirmation, I moved my panel to the bottom of the screen and it fixed the issue with the recording being in the wrong place. Very strange.

spectacle screencast showing the horizontal offset and recording outline issue
Can confirm that the patch fixes the issue, but note that I do still see the issue with the recording being offset *horizontally* sometimes. I'm mentioning this here because I'm not sure if it has the same root cause as this issue with the panel, or something else like the "divisible by two" thing. I can open up another bug for this if it would be useful.
Attaching a screen recording showing what I mean (this is after applying the commit that fixes this issue).
Probably an issue with the outline not having the exact right math to stay outside the bounds of the recording area. *** Bug 482287 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 482407 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 482747 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Created attachment 165846 [details] frame of a screencast showing the issue SUMMARY When I select a rectangle outline for Spectacle to record a screencast, the actual location of the recording is (usually?) shifted slightly from the location I choose, and the resulting recording includes the dashed line that shows the recording location.
