Bug ID: 441396 Summary: Kwin is rendering old content when taking screenshots Product: kwin Version: git master Platform: Archlinux Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: compositing Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: k...@sdht.in Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 140959 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=140959&action=edit KWin supportInformation SUMMARY Taking screenshots with Spectacle renders old content instead of what is actually on the screen. I have to "reset" Kwin by changing some Compositor settings before taking screenshots. STEPS TO REPRODUCE > Open Spectacle and take a screenshot using rectangular region. The screen changes to some old state as it was when I had just logged in, including a partially black screen and a notification widget showing "Connected to wifi". > Try "Window Under Cursor" The same thing happens. Either some old window or the desktop itself comes in the screenshot, but not the currently open windows. > Go to Compositor settings and change "Scale method" or "Rendering backend" to > something else. Now Kwin resets and I can take screenshots of the current screen again. This bug appeared in the last month or so. Willing to help debug.
