Hi - I can't reproduce on my Fedora KDE 42 device. Could you please let us know: * What your graphics card and drivers (if applicable) are? * Does this occur with the cursor over top of any application - including KDE applications, web browsers, etc.? * Does this occur when using Spectacle's screencast feature? Thanks! (In reply to John Kizer from comment #1) * What your graphics card and drivers (if applicable) are? linux-cachyos-nvidia-open 6.14.5-3 Driver Version: 570.144 * Does this occur with the cursor over top of any application - including KDE applications, web browsers, etc.? Yes * Does this occur when using Spectacle's screencast feature? No Created attachment 181038 [details]

Here's a video recorded using spectacle of the OBS window showing the issue while recording dolphin.
Oh also GPU is: GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super (dGPU) GPU 2: AMD Radeon Graphics (iGPU) Thanks - this looks like it's occurring on other desktop environments as well, and is being investigated as either an OBS Studio or PipeWire issue: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/issues/12091 |
Created attachment 180877 [details] example of black box around mouse SUMMARY Screen capture draws black boxes around mouse. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open OBS and add a screen capture (pipewire) source 2. Move mouse around on captured window OBSERVED RESULT Mouse will have a black box around the mouse EXPECTED RESULT Mouse is shown without a boundary box. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.14.4-2-cachyos KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Cursor Theme: Breeze I originally contacted OBS about this but they said this is something the xdg-desktop-portal handles. I've confirmed this happens with both window and screen capture. I've also tried the OBS flatpak since I'm using obs-studio-git from the AUR and it was also reproducible there.
