Created attachment 6274 Region's dark overlay in a test screenshots When in region capturing, if you quick move your mouse (enlarging captured area) while releasing the drag, part of the dark overlay area can be captured in the screenshot (see attachment for an example). I know this is a very minor problem (you just have to be quieter, and 99% percent of the time you are if you are using region capturing), but to me it looks like easy to fix. Version: 1.8.2. The reproduce the problem make sure to test it with Xfwm compositor enabled: else you don't have the dark overlay.
Created attachment 6543 fixes the gray overlay with delays >= 1 secs Hi, this patch helps a little: as long as the delay is >0, I've not had the problem reappear.
Created attachment 6545 fixes the gray overlay with delays >= 1 secs (correct patch) Oops - the previously sent patch includes commits that patch other things, eg. https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12336 Here's the one dealing with this specific issue.
Actually, I think the larger patch might be necessary to circumvent this issue. Why? Because with delay=0 (the only mode in the current release version for region capture, despite the spinner saying, at minimum, 1), I still get this grayness. But with delay enabled and set to >= 1, I don't.
Applied this single patch in c26a7f0 - but yeah, it doesnt fix the root issue, with a zero delay i still managed to reproduce the issue. Adding a 1s delay seems like a hack to me... oh well. Marking this bug as a duplicate of 8838. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8838 ***
