Bug ID: 516876
Summary: Changing the brightness terminates screen recording
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.6.80
Reported In:
Platform: KDE Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: screencasting
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press Meta+R to start a screen recording in Spectacle, select a region, and
press Record
2. Change the screen brightness via any method
OBSERVED RESULT
Screen recording abruptly ends and Spectacle shows an error dialog saying:
> An error occurred while attempting to record the screen.
> The stream closed because a screen containing the target region changed in a
> way that disrupted the recording.
EXPECTED RESULT
Ideally this shouldn't happen and it should be able to continue recording? Not
a huge deal I guess, but still unexpected.
