I can confirm this. When using compiz, the area selector works fine but the recording is messed up (and compiz is not yet working/stable/glitch free for everyone).
as a (quick and dirty) workaround, I forced byzanz to set a root window when selecting an area in src/byzanzselect.c by breaking the test on line 195. It now looks like: if (0 && rgba) { gtk_widget_set_colormap (data->window, rgba); } else { GdkWindow *root = gdk_get_default_root_window (); gint width, height; gdk_drawable_get_size (root, &width, &height); data->root = gdk_drawable_get_image (root, 0, 0, width, height); } It is not a proper solution but it allows to use it in the meantime. -- Selection of screen section for recording turns screen black https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198929 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
