** Description changed:

  I'm trying to record interaction with UI controls using byzanz-record,
  but am running into an issue where it will cut the beginning/end off of
  a recording if it detects no screen repaints. It can be reproduced by
  recording a GIF where the mouse is moved within the recording region
  continuously for the entire duration, and another where nothing happens
  for the entire duration. The latter will be a millisecond or two in
  duration.
  
- The way I'm working around it is to print a message to the console every
- 100 milliseconds to force screen repaints. Even though this occurs
- outside of the recording region, it still works.
+ I figured out that it wasn't working by printing a message to the
+ console every 100 milliseconds to force screen repaints. Even though
+ this occurred outside of the recording region, it still worked. When I
+ knew that that worked, I forced screen updates via QQuickView, but not
+ everyone can or wants to do that.
  
  I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report bugs against byzanz;
  the only other place I saw was here:
