Created attachment 4623 An example screenshot Hi If I took an screenshot with xfce4-screenshooter, and select "Select a region" option, there will be a border in the picture. look at the attachment file.
I don't have this problem with xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.1, what version are you using?
Hi, after having stumbled over the bug report on the mailing list, maybe I can provide some help towards a resolution. ;) I am running Debian testing on amd64: $ cat /etc/issue Debian GNU/Linux 9 \n \l $ uname -a Linux swarley 4.9.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.2-2 (2017-01-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux xcfce4 (meta package) version is 4.12.3, xfce4-screenshoter is 1.8.2-2 I took a couple of screenshots, using various applications in the background (Thunderbird, Firefox, Document Viewer, galculator, LibreOffice Calc) and out of the 15 screenshots I took only 1 showed the screenshot borders. It is in front of Document Viewer and shows bottom, left and right borders. I have another one from some time ago in Firefox, which shows borders as well (left and bottom). I can upload both, if necessary.

Tell me if you need any more information.
Ha! I've found an easy way to reproduce this: Draw a large rectangle, move the cursor inwards pretty fast while you release the mouse button or press/release right and left mouse button. This bug is more likely to happen (and more visible) while display compositing is disabled. It seems to me the solution is to add an small fixed delay (1 second) for the "Select a region" mode, just like the other modes. However, I won't craft a patch until the GTK3 is complete.
A 1sec delay was added to my GTK3[1] port, I hope this amend this problem. 1 - https://github.com/andreldm/xfce4-screenshooter
I tested it now and it does not :( At least it's a testament to the quality of the port, good job. I'm using Arch Linux and other than exo and libxfce4-ui everything else is stock Xfce 4.12 (maybe I misunderstood and I need something else as well, but I don't think I did). GPU drivers are xf86-video-intel with DRI3, compositing disabled. https://gfycat.com/AllAssuredAmericangoldfinch I can pretty much get the bug to 100% reproduction rate if I keep moving the selection long enough, as you can see. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes not.
Sorry, but I can't reproduce, after 10 minutes trying. I'm also using Arch, xf86-video-intel, DRI3 enabled and compositing disabled. The bug report is about the resulting screenshot be "tainted" by the selection rectangle, this was fixed to me using both compositing and non-compositing modes. What are your results?
I tried again today and I can't reproduce it anymore either, after multiple attempts. Maybe there's some unusual conditions that have to be met, but I have no idea really.
I'm closing this bug, feel free to reopen if a reproducible pattern is found.
(forgot to change the status ^^)
