Cannot select an area within (some?) XWayland games/applications
Fleimi opened this issue · comments
Slurp seems to be unable to select an area inside of most games I've tried. For example, in Final Fantasy XIV, calling grim -g "$(slurp -w 0)" - | wl-copy whitens the screen indicating a selection is taking place, but clicking and dragging inside the game doesn't select anything and the selection mode doesn't end. Moreover, trying the press Escape to cancel the selection also doesn't do anything. The only way to back out of the screenshot is to switch to another workspace and press Escape or select an area as normal and make a successful selection/screenshot.
That might be a bug in sway or wlroots.
I’m using Hyprland, so I’m guessing wlroots in case it turns out to not be directly a slurp thing. I can try on Sway when I’m at my computer again unless someone does that before me ;)
Tested within sway, slurp + grim work as intended. Ruling out wlroots and suspecting now a Hyprland-specific issue.
