Visual tear/glitch when capturing area
Flameshot Version
Flameshot v11.0.0 () Compiled with Qt 5.15.3 linux: 5.13.0-30-generic ubuntu-core: 20
Installation Type
Snap from Snapcraft
Operating System type and version
Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS amd64
Description
When selecting active area, the selection box glitches considerably. See the recording below.
Strangely, when I was recording this issue using screen recorder (e.g. Kazam), the glitch became much less noticeable. And Kazam didn't record any glitch at all. So I have to record this issue using my mobile phone.
I have also tried some other screenshot tools like Shutter and not seen such issue.
Steps to reproduce
- Run flameshot from GNOME desktop icon.
- Double click system tray icon to activate area capture mode.
- Drag or resize the selection box with mouse.

It seems everyone here are using the same setup:
- Ubuntu 20.04
- X11
- Intel graphics cards with mesa driver.
It does feel like a new problem, the overlay seems to be having trouble rendering
I have the same problem

@alperyilmaz Which graphics card did you use?
I have a laptop with the same dual graphics card drivers as you (NVIDIA GTX 1650 + Intel UHD 630). But I have no problem when I switch my graphics card to NVIDIA.
@YalandHong I'm using "hybrid graphics" mode. I'm guessing flameshot is using integrated graphics then.. I checked nvidia-smi and it shows Xorg is using nvidia. Let me restart, switch to "nvidia graphics" power settings and see if the issue is fixed. Thanks
This might be a bug in mesa Intel driver. Does this happen to any other software on your computer?
OMG, flameshot group is very active and helpful. thanks for the follow-up. I don't have this problem with any other software. However, I'm using common software (fiirefox, libreoffice, pdf reader, terminal) so it might be difficult to observe similar problem in such software. If there are any other software (probably capture related) you want me to test, I can install and test. Again, thanks for this great product. It is an invaluable and time-saving tool. And thanks for the follow-up.
Same here.

- Flameshot v11.0.0 (ad1bf28) Compiled with Qt 5.12.8 AppImage
- Flameshot v11.0.0 () Compiled with Qt 5.15.3 Flatpak
Please re-open this issue. I don't think it is resolved.
As alperyilmaz says, this problem happens in Linux 5.15.11. So a newer version of kernel may not help. I'm using Linux 5.14.0 OEM kernel and the problem also exists.
It is more likely a bug related to Intel driver or Qt framework.
Besides, I have found that #1850 is the same problem, meaning that such bug has been existing for a long time. But I think #1850 is not well-formatted and lacking of information. So I suggest re-open the current issue. Thanks!
Yeah, I think it should be reopened as well. Looking with more attention, the glitch has diminished (the buttons around the marked area are no longer affected by it), but it is not gone. Sorry for the mistake, everyone.
I had the same issue. I run LinuxMint 20.3 which is based on Ubuntu 20.04 with vanilla kernel 5.4 and mesa 21.2.6. My DE is XFCE. My CPU is Intel i5-9400 with integrated graphics UHD 630.
I resolved the issue by disabling the option "display fullscreen overlay windows directly under Settings -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor
Hope that helps.
I have the same issue.
My PC has i5-10400, Mesa UHD 630, Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. Flameshot: 12.1.0
The funny thing is: when I'm using Record a short screencast to record (Shift+Ctrl+Alt+R), the glitch is gone.

Problem is gone. I observe no tearing now.
Problem is gone after update to Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
This is most likely because you are now on Wayland and not X11 anymore

Mine is still x11. Am I wrong? See my post just above.
@ybolu
Mine is still x11. Am I wrong? See my post just above
You are using Mint, which is not identical to Ubuntu. As far as I know there is mo Wayland for Cinnamon yet, and perhaps what have solved your issue is qt update or graphic driver update.
I upgraded my Mesa driver to v22.1.7 following this article. And the problem seems gone now.
I think it is likely that there's something wrong within the older version of Mesa. If so, FlameShot actually can't do anything to solve this problem.
