Clickbaity title aside, I've looked through the forums and I seem to be alone in this issue, but it's truly a strange one -- so I thought I'd share in the hopes of hitting a similar experience.
Here's what this issue is like:
1- attempting to capture screen in any form (gif, mp4, webm) results in a video that seems to be frozen, but with subtle movements or going back and forth a couple of frames.
2- the output may also (on repeated recordings) start showing glitches and time-travelling behaviour; i.e. windows that are now closed appear stacked in the recording, glitchy appearances, artifacts, cursor could be moving fine but not the windows underneath it, etc..
3- recording software doesn't matter (tried with gnome's tool, peek, ssr, etc..)
4- sometimes scrot shows similar characteristics, but other screenshots software (the budgie applet and flameshot)
Some background info: I have integrated graphics, my laptop is dell inspiron 11 (3147 specifically), and this issue has only been observed on Solus budgie.
I have a couple of theories, but only one of them is very likely:
1- It could be budgie's baked-in window manager and compositor
2- it could be misconfigured x11
3- the most likely I think, is that I'm missing a driver I need to load (drm maybe?)
a note on 3, the behaviour is irrespective of drm'd content (I don't have any to begin with), it happens even when trying to record my desktop and my cursor.
here's an example video (notice that artifacts from a previous window in the past are showing)
anyone with similar experiences?
