recordMyDesktop doesn't record the full screen any more

[el_gallo_azul]

For a couple of years, this application worked perfectly. I mainly use it to report bugs to websites and bugs in applications. Today, I want to use it to let Yahoo know that Yahoo Mail is not working.

The problem is that the full screen is not recorded - this problem started a year or two ago. A smaller window within the screen is recorded, which includes the top of the screen, but the recorded area seems to be about the top centre, such that the left-hand side, the right-hand side, and the bottom of the screen are all outside the boundaries of the recording.

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

gtk-recordmydesktop:
  Installed: 0.3.8-4.1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.3.8-4.1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.3.8-4.1ubuntu1 500

        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What you expected to happen

Everything that I see on my screen is recorded.

4) What happened instead

Only part of what appears on my screen is recorded. See https://youtu.be/3XtiMXaD_Q4.

My apologies. I just watched the version of the recording tyhat I uploaded to YouTube today, and sure enough, the full screen is shown.

Before I uploaded it to YouTube, I watched it in VLC media player (version 2.2.2 Weatherwax), and that's where it appeared that only part of the screen had been recorded. Now it looks like a VLC media player bug.
