Description Nicholas Kinney 2023-09-12 21:26:25 UTC
SUMMARY
***
Entering the screenshot preview interface (which I reach through a shortcut that runs spectacle -rbnceo /tmp/screenshot.png ) causes every window to shift, attempting to select a region for the screenshot will now be inaccurate because the region is taken from the actual position of the windows and not the shifted positions.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Hit Screenshot

OBSERVED RESULT
All windows shift in preview

EXPECTED RESULT
Windows should remain in their actual location on the desktop

Can you describe your screen setup, GPU hardware, and mention whether you're using X11 or Wayland?

Three monitors bottom justified, 1920x1080 on the left, 2560x1440 in the middle, and another 1920x1080 on the right. Running x11 with a 7900xtx with Mesa 23.1.6-arch1.4. Running kernel 6.4.12-arch1-1.

Thanks. Is your global scale set to 100%, or something else?

Does the same problem happen on Wayland too?

My global scale is at 125%, I have not tried with Wayland, but if needed I can see what happens.

The issue does not appear to persist when running wayland, even with wayland configured to also use a 125% scaling.

Disabling global scaling on x11 does appear to resolve the issue as well
