Description

So this issue is not recent, but today I was comparing Ungoogled Chromium and Firefox for an unrelated problem, and the Flameshot's GUI for some reason only appeared consistently on the left monitor (where Ungoogled Chromium is opened) and about 1/4 of the time on the right one (where with Firefox is opened). Even if Firefox is focused, but this shouldn't affect the behavior anyway. So if it appears transparent, then I have to Escape and PrnSc until I see the magnifying rectangle (from the Flameshot's GUI), which is obviously annoying. And I had to go through this pain after almost every single screenshot on the right monitor (and none for the left one).

And the best part, is that you can't show what isn't showing (on a screenshot), especially with the tool that is used for this exact purpose, so I reserved to the ol' reliable photo of the monitors.

Steps to reproduce

  1. run flameshot gui
  2. boom, you got it
