[Bug 1715517] Re: recordMyDesktop doesn't record the full screen any more

 

My apologies. I just watched the version of the recording tyhat I
uploaded to YouTube today, and sure enough, the full screen is shown.

Before I uploaded it to YouTube, I watched it in VLC media player
(version 2.2.2 Weatherwax), and that's where it appeared that only part
of the screen had been recorded. Now it looks like a VLC media player
bug.

Title:
  recordMyDesktop doesn't record the full screen any more

Status in gtk-recordmydesktop package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  For a couple of years, this application worked perfectly. I mainly use
  it to report bugs to websites and bugs in applications. Today, I want
  to use it to let Yahoo know that Yahoo Mail is not working.

  The problem is that the full screen is not recorded - this problem
  started a year or two ago. A smaller window within the screen is
  recorded, which includes the top of the screen, but the recorded area
  seems to be about the top centre, such that the left-hand side, the
  right-hand side, and the bottom of the screen are all outside the
  boundaries of the recording.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or
  System -> About Ubuntu

  Description:	Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
  Release:	16.04

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
  pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

  gtk-recordmydesktop:
    Installed: 0.3.8-4.1ubuntu1
    Candidate: 0.3.8-4.1ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 0.3.8-4.1ubuntu1 500

          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What you expected to happen

  Everything that I see on my screen is recorded.

  4) What happened instead

  Only part of what appears on my screen is recorded. See
