The weird screenshot thing also leads to confusing issues like this one: https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/issues/223 https://github.com/flathub/us.zoom.Zoom/issues/223. Zoom for some reason tries to avoid sharing its own windows by using an X window property that specifies the owning PID, so it filters out any window where `_NET_WM_PID == Zoom's PID`. In a modern Linux desktop when applications are sandboxed, many different applications can think they have the same PID, so it ends up randomly filtering out other applications.
Not sharing its own windows is nice and all, but I don't think Zoom even does that on other platforms. It's weird how much effort they have put in to doing the wrong thing.
