Description Bill Sanford 2020-12-18 14:55:27 UTC
Description of problem:
There is no way to have GIMP grab a screenshot of anything. Some windows can't even be grabbed, like GIMP itself or terminal. 

I could grab a Firefox window but it resulted in the error of a black screen.

This is a VM that is using Wayland. mkrajnak tested with x11 and it seems to work fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-8.3.1-20201217.n.0
gimp-2.8.22

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From GIMP, File -> Create -> Screenshot (Use any method)
2.
3.

Actual results:
A black screen.

Expected results:
A screenshot based on the method used.
