Question #694645 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/694645

Description changed to:
**** problem
just double-clicking the jar does not reveal an option to allow screen recording 
problem is tracked on GitHub: https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX1/issues/405

******************* workaround

--- start IDE once in a Terminal window using
java -jar <path-to>/sikulixide....jar

--- use the capture button
... and get the blank screen

--- close IDE

--- in Preferences -> Security&Privacy -> Privacy allow ScreenRecording
for Terminal

--- start IDE from Terminal again - capture should work now

Java Version:        Java11(64)11.0.9+11

When I click on buttons that involve screen-capture functionality e.g.
Take Screenshot (cmd+shift+2), Region... my desktop gets cleared of any
open windows (leaving just the background image) meaning I cannot
capture screenshots of the desired application.

I've searched the internet for similar issues, to no avail. Any help is
appreciated!
