Does capture work with Edge or Chrome?
Flags: needinfo?(Dean.Laganiere)
Oh, legit. Sorry. It would be only a Firefox regression. It doesn't work with IE11, Edge and Chrome Dev 71. Chrome users are advised to disable hardware acceleration. So this could be even a wontfix?
Even if you wanted to remove other graphics backends some day, it would be enough to temporarily disable gfx.webrender.dcomp-win.enabled for such a window capture.
Likewise, chrome.exe --disable-direct-composition is mentioned as a solution.
