I too suffer from this exact bug. All I can see is a red border and the background when trying to use Skype's full screen capture. The other end just sees my background.
Another problem I have that is directly related is that the red border isn't actually bound to what the other end sees. What I mean by this is that I can choose to do the selection but, upon starting the screen capture, the screen shown on the other end is always a portion of the top left of my screen. It doesn't matter what I have outlined with the red border selection, the top left of my screen is always shown. I cannot get it to change. I've tried moving my selection and resizing it. Nothing works. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879895 Title: gnome-shell : skype screen sharing problem , windows disappear, panel disappears To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/879895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
