Dropdown Menu not Captured #47

Closed bueti closed 3 years ago

bueti commented 3 years ago

Clicking on the dropdown menu and selecting an entry didn't get captured by gifcap: recording(1)

Reproducible on other pages with drop down menus.

OS: macOS Catalina

Browser: Name Firefox Version 84.0.2 Build ID 20210105180113

This has to do with how the browsers record, what you choose to record and how applications render. A dropdown menu in Firefox macOS gets rendered as a separate window. When you select the browser window to be recorded, other windows won't be recorded, and that includes the dropdown menu.

Workaround: select the entire screen and use the cropping mechanism to crop.
