[Bug 1704302] Re: [1.1.x] Linux: Capture: Problem with not recognized window borders

 

** Description changed:

  *************** problem description
  - Linux Mint 18.2 with Cinnamon (latest versions)
  
  Images created with SikuliX's capture feature (at the bottom created
  with Java's Robot createScreenCapture()) do not show what currently is
  seen on the screen.
  
  Looking at these captured images. The active window loose its borders
  and shows the content of another window (another terminal) behind it.
  The inactive window behind the terminal (a firefox browser window) shows
  the borders but again with the content of another firefox window that
  was behind the visible one. I tested with a lot of open windows
  overlapped and not maximized.
  
  - The active visible window loose its borders
  - The inactive visible window retains its borders
  - In all windows the content was replaced with the content located in the same place of another window of the same running program (seems the first it found from the list of active windows)
  
  This bug is based on the question discussion:

  Thanks https://launchpad.net/~edmundo-valle for reporting and debugging.
  
+ He has collected more information: see comment #2

  -------------------------------
  
  Currently there is neither a workaround nor an idea for a solution,
  since the problem is created inside the Java/Linux interface.
