Black rectangles showing up when using scrot -s
So you know how when you want to screenshot a section of your screen using the command
scrot -s, a black rectangle will appear that shows you where the screenshot will be taken? And you move your mouse around to select an area of your screen to take a picture of? My rectangles always act up and start glitching out. I took a recording of this here to show what I mean. The region that is ultimately screenshotted is the same region that you'd expect if all this glitching wasn't happening, but the rectangles often end up in the screenshot, see here for an example screenshot. I use bspwm as my WM, but I have two other computers that also use bspwm that never have this issue. Any ideas why this might be happening?

Can't reproduce. Details of the package version, your graphics card(s) and drivers would be helpful. And how you start X.

Also whether you run a compositor (picom/xcompmgr) along bspwm.
