Stale screenshots

Whenever I take a screenshot, I get a stale screenshot back. This can be a different workspace then I'm on, or an old state of the current workspace. I have no idea what causes (is it the window manager or Xorg, or something else?) this and if there is a workaround?

Running i3 with flameshot as screenshot app (same issue with scrot).

Re: Stale screenshots

Try to run the flameshot in a terminal, and see if he return something.

No luck there, just makes a screenshot, no error or anything.

Remove xf86-video-intel if installed

I have done that now. I'm not sure how I can trigger the issue, so I have to wait and see if it resolves the issue.
