Flameshot screenshots are sometimes cut in half depending on the application where they are pasted and the Sway version being used

[AkechiShiro]

• Sway Version:
  • swaymsg -t get_version or sway -v
  • sway version 1.8.1

-Flameshot Version:

• Flameshot v12.1.0 (-)

• Compiled with Qt 5.15.10

• Debug Log:

  • Run sway -d 2> ~/sway.log from a TTY and upload it to a pastebin, such as gist.github.com.
  • This will record information about sway's activity. Please try to keep the reproduction as brief as possible and exit sway.
  • Attach the full file, do not truncate it.

• Configuration File:

• I will setup a clean virtual machine to reproduce this issue with the most minimal Sway configuration.

• Description:

  • Setup xdg-portal usage under Sway, first of all flameshot does not work out of the box for Sway, I've went through the troubleshooting page : https://github.com/emersion/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/wiki/%22It-doesn't-work%22-Troubleshooting-Checklist
  • Once I applied most of the troubleshooting steps, Flameshot started working but there were still issues.

-Additional Context
Please read this issue reported downstream : flameshot-org/flameshot#2063

I will provide further debug logs later by editing or commenting on this issue.

If wl-copy works as a workaround, then this is unlikely to be a Sway issue. Probably a bug in the client clipboard handling.

There are also other issues, however I would like feedback if they should be handled in Flameshot or if there is way we can fix them in some other way (in Sway), I lack foresight where exactly those issue should be fixed :

• Sway: Non (0,0) screen position hides UI elements into top-left corner flameshot-org/flameshot#2941
• "qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()" on Sway. flameshot-org/flameshot#3012

Thanks @emersion, I will close this issue then, and will investigate downstream in the code.
If there is no solution that is found, I may reopen this issue later.

@emersion would you have any idea what this means ??

Could the bug be related to Electron apps ? Or specific libraries ?
