The screen share thing isn’t really the point. I have this problem with things ranging from calendar events to low battery notifications, to anything. It’s random as to when you will get the notifications and when you’ll get the move right, left, up, down thing. I wish I knew what causes it and how to screw with it. No way to show it to accesssibility/screnshare, since you can’t necessarily rely on there being notifications in the cue when you try to show t to them.
Any idea what to do when you see move up, down, left right instead of useable actions?
