When sharing my screen during zoom, whereby or skype web in the browser, the "Application window" list is always empty. Sharing the entire screen and browser tabs work fine. Same problem with both chromium and firefox.
I first asked this on the chromium google group:
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.or … wJ9zQgAQAJ
and then filed a chromium bug:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is … id=1180557
Any idea how I could debug the issue further?
This problem sounds similar:

I'm using cinnamon desktop.
Thanks!

The problem seems to be caused by certain locale settings for the locale environment variables. In my case, I had created a custom locale en_XX to change the date formats to YYYY-MM-DD. Switching to en_US for all settings fixes the problem.
I found this solution because I experience a similar issue with OBS. The first reply points to different locales for LANG and LC_TIME. I suspect firefox and chromium ignore windows without a title and more complex locale settings somehow prevent the window titles from being read properly.
