Public bug reported:

Yahoo! Mail was not working this morning, because Yahoo had carried out
an "upgrade". For that reason, I decided to record the fault using
application "recordMyDesktop". I did that, and when I played the
resulting .ogv video back in VLC, only part of my desktop was shown.
That has happened before, so I finally decided to report that bug as
well today. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk-
recordmydesktop/+bug/1715517.

I then loaded the (apparently) faulty video to YouTube, because I had
recorded it a couple of times, with some changes to settings, but the
result was the same when I played it back, and I thought the video would
have some value in showing the Yahoo! Mail error anyway.

However, when I watched the uploaded video in YouTube
(https://youtu.be/3XtiMXaD_Q4), my full desktop is in fact shown. When I
play the video in VLC, only part of the video area is shown (see
screenshot of video playing back in VLC: https://imgur.com/ngJTrco).
