SUMMARY When recording the screen in Plasma 6.5.x (currently 6.5.1 as of November 2, 2025), several interface components flicker/glitch, including windows. The issue is not noticeable on the screen itself—only in the OBS preview and the final recording. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. In OBS Studio, create a new source (Screen Capture (PipeWire)). 2. In the screen-sharing portal, select your screen. 3. Start the recording. OBSERVED RESULT Flickering components, such as Kicker, the bottom panel, the clipboard widget, and windows. EXPECTED RESULT No flickering or glitching; smooth recording, as seen in Plasma 6.4.x. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Kernel Version: 6.17.6-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40GHz Memory: 16 GiB of RAM (15.6 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti (580.95.05) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I downgraded to Plasma 6.4.x to confirm that the issue is specific to 6.5.x, and indeed, it only started occurring from version 6.5.x onward.
