Description Richard Myers 2023-01-12 21:11:36 UTC
Description of problem:
See https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-screenshooter/-/issues/101
After upgrading from Fedora 35 to Fedora 37 (xfce4-screenshooter-1.10.0-1.fc37.x86_64, xfce4-screenshooter-plugin-1.10.0-1.fc37.x86_64), screenshooter grabs wildly unpredictable images (by me) from my screen.  For instance, grabbing a region on a blank desktop screen shows a region of an old desktop screen, which is apparently stuck in a buffer somewhere.

Developer says the problem is likely fixed in version 1.10.2.  This report is to nudge Fedora to update to 1.10.2 as soon as possible.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xfce4-screenshooter-1.10.0-1.fc37.x86_64

How reproducible:
Seems to work OK once after a reboot (or possibly right after logging into X), but after that, it's impossible to get a current screen capture.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use xfce4-screenshooter to capture a region.
2. Move to a different desktop, and use xfce4-screenshooter to capture another region.
3. The newly captured region does not reflect the area of the desired region, but rather, a piece of some other screen.  

Actual results:
xfce4-screenshooter grabs a region, active window, or desktop image from an old desktop stored somewhere in the system, not the current region, active windo, or desktop.

Expected results:
xfce4-screenshooter grabs and stores an image from the current region, active window, or desktop.

Additional info:
Doesn't matter if the compositor is on or off.  I am running X, not Wayland.

Capturing an active screen or the entire screen gives similarly baffling results (grabs a window, or entire screen which is not anywhere on any of my desktops, but what was present sometime in the past).

Screenshooter seems to give the correct shot only once after rebooting.  I'm not sure the behaviour after logging out of X and back in, (whether it works correctly the first time or not).

The developer has released 1.10.3, which now builds on F37, making it easier to release in Fedora-Updates.  Kudos to Andre Miranda!!  I tested it on F37, and it works like a charm!!!
