Bug Description

Hi,

Ubuntu 22.04 here.

I've installed gnome-screenshot as the default capture tool does not offer delay when needing to capture secondary menus ( those under right click or coming from panels, or coming from application menu… )

My issue with gnome-screenshot is :

it is unable to capture mouse-cursor !

Anytime I try a « full screen » capture with delay + mouse cursor,

mouse cursor shows at 0,0 coordinate on the resulting picture.

This is on Xorg.

On Wayland it's 99% OK ( the mouse-cursor position is not pixel perfect accurate, but very close to its real position. )

1920×1080 px size screen, so no size factoring or HiDpi involved.

Always reproducible.

( Other applications are unable to « capture » mouse cursor, ie peek, so maybe not specific to gnome-screenshot )
