Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This also happens to me. Ubuntu 20.04, Kazam 1.4.5. I tried to screencast Firefox. I am using Wayland. I've used Kazam on X.org before and it worked, not sure if it has something to do with my recent change to Wayland.
