I use sway since ~2 years and i never experienced such thing. I you can still reproduce you should definitely look into it and email the maintainers, i'm sure it's a bug. Right now sway is feature frozen and it seems to be rock-solid. Screen capture works with pipewire (which is a breath of fresh air in comparison with the pulse/jack combo) and the xdg-desktop-portal extension. At this point i'm not sure i'll switch to something else in my lifetime!
- Teknoman117 6y agoAs I said, it's been awhile. Was the latter half of 2016 when I tried. I had bumped into it while trying to write a "system compositor / fullscreen shell" which would run another wayland compositor inside for the purpose of desktop recording. It would convert the wayland buffer handles into vaapi surfaces so I could use the GPU's video encoder. Most compositors never really picked up support for running nested, so I had abandoned that project. I was super intrigued about wayland because it caused all the drivers to truly support offscreen accelerated rendering, I was also hoping to turn it into a remote desktop thing where you could actually run 3D apps in the future as well.
