screenshots not working - white screen on lock

[simonm]

Hi - recently the screenshot functionality seems to have stopped working. Instead of a blurred screenshot, I get a white screen (which seems to have the blur effect). It's like the screenshot part of the process is no longer functioning. This worked without issue previously. I am not aware of exactly when it stopped working.

I have the same issue

I just changed wlroots-git, sway-git and swaybg-git to their non-git versions and the problem is resolved.

Sway 1.8 hasn’t been even released yet and I haven’t tried it yet.

This Sway release will add support for the new lockscreen protocol. Swaylock already supports it and so does swaylock-effects – it came with mortie#86 which I rebased and merged into this repository. It seems there’s some problem with this code.

Tbh, I don’t understand this code very well, so any help is welcome.
