Hi, I still have this the bug when maximize on Wayland, I have electron 20.3.8 and flag on file .config/electron-flags.conf -ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

Do I miss something ?

proposal for

--ozone-platform-hint=auto

The issue with using specific versions of electron, is also they bring dropped by Arch, like electron16 did. So it's always wise to keep trying newer electron versions and test if it works, when becoming available. Otherwise you can end up with the same freetube issue. The version upstream hadn't changed for a while, and it works fine with electron20, but on AUR it still uses electro16, :(

So, sticking with particular electron version is also dangerous. I do prefer depending on, and using electron (latest one) unless for some reason it breaks the package, and only then stick with the latest that work...

You're probably right. I'll pin to electron20.

Just something to consider is pinning the depends to electron20 rather than electron; this will avoid things breaking when electron moves to 21.

@languitar I'm experiencing the same here. Already tried to use different Electron versions (17 to 20) but all fail to work. Using 17 does not lead to a crash but instead I screenshare a gray screen.

Works fine for me on electron 20 so far. Also Wayland window decorations were fixed in 20.0.2 which finally makes for a kinda flawless Wayland experience. Unfortunately I know too little about electron to tell if it will get backported.

Maybe consider bumping electron version here?

Is anyone else with a wayland setup experiencing crashes when trying to start a screenshare since a few weeks? For me, after selecting the output to share, slack always terminates with

Fatal Wayland protocol error 3 on interface xdg_surface (object 72). Shutting down.

For people using Gnome and Wayland, this might be helpful for getting better performance and window decorations (top bar and so on): edit ~/.config/electron17-flags.conf/ and add the following lines:

--ozone-platform=wayland
--enable-features=UseOzonePlatform
--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations
