Hi same problem for me.
Xfce4-screenshoter is not usable.

Cannot repro in a fresh VM. Upstream link suggests gnome-screenshot also affected, and that issue possibly exists at a deeper level (xorg, gdk, video driver, etc)

Still cannot repro, even with gnome-screenshot, even with different drivers (nouveau vs nvidia). Unless someone can determine how to reliably repro and provide the *exact* steps then I'm afraid nothing will happen..

i can still reproduce the error. Only thing i see in the logs (journalctl -f) when taking the screenshot:

The issue is still here after some tests.

In linked upstream ticket, xfce dev has found Intel graphics as a possible factor [1]
