[COMPTON] Screenshots aren't updating, or weirdly

So since a while now I encountered this issue, firstly with KDE Spectacle, so I tried with scrot.
Both have the same problem: They take incorrect screenshots!
The first screenshot is fine, but the second will be a mix of the first and the second, or will just be the first. I'm using awesomewm on X11, but I found this problem in a live manjaro KDE environment as well (I'm using Arch btw, not manjaro). The laptop I'm using is a HP Probook x360 G1 EE.

If you need more info, please ask!

Not a KDE user here, but one of the things to check if such artifacts occur is whether enabling or disabling compositing affects it.

Thanks for your reply. It seems you were right: killing comptom seems to fix the issue. I'm going to investigate the problem
