Might have been fixed by #3035. Would you please try the AUR and see if it works? AUR is maintained by us and is building against HEAD
This seems to fix it but Keybinds dont work https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/2364#issuecomment-1072917949
Every keybind like CTRL+C, CTRL+S, ... doesnt work with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
I'm still having the same screens issue even on the Git version from the AUR.

Can you share your flameshot config (./config/flameshot/flameshot.ini)
Sorry, I mis-typed this is the address:

Can you try downloading and running the nightly builds (for instance AppImage or Flatpak) and see of the issue persists? If you are on Arch-based distro we also provide AUR.
I have the same issue running flameshot-git. Running manually flameshot gui give the same log as OP.
I'm seeing the same behavior but only with a single monitor, so I'm not sure if this is necessarily a multi-monitor issue as implied in the OP (or perhaps a separate issue).
I don't see anything in the logs but when I capture something with flameshot gui the image to be captured is something that was recently on my (single) monitor but not currently.
Flameshot v12.1.0 (0bbb9528) Compiled with Qt 5.15.10 GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GA107GLM [RTX A1000 6GB Laptop GPU] CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H Desktop: xmonad OS: Arch Kernel: 6.1.55-lts
Furthermore, the only reason I noticed this issue was because I recently moved my configuration from another laptop on which this was working fine. The configuration and software are the same, but the hardware is obviously different. This older laptop uses a GTX 1050 Nvidia GPU with an Intel i5-9300H CPU, and notably the older laptop requires optimus-manager to get GPU switching to work whereas the new one above does not.
This issue fixed itself for me with a kernel update. Not sure which one did it but I'm on 6.6.17 right now and flameshot is still 12.1.0, so definitely not a flameshot issue.
Hy, I have 6.6.31 here and still the bug.
@OhaDerErste Do you have a panning ?
I have similar setup that you (my main screen middle) so I have a panning and it screenshot the first always.
$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 5760 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
eDP-1 connected primary 1920x1080+1920+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 309mm x 174mm
Notice the +1920+0.
I have digged a bit and it seems to be related to Qscreen.
IIRC (I wasn't able to finish the fix I was working on) it is related on this kind of snippet. where x is 0 for all screen because it is related to the actual physical screen and not viewport.
