Indeed! Thank you for pointing that out. I also found https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/-/issues/82 and linked issues and merge requests, for additional context.
So the option to include/remove-border is removed from the upstream GUI and so are the border effects. The CLI isn't updated yet though. Window screenshots now always include a faint shadow on all four sides of the window, and that's why there's transparent padding added all around. That's the new expected behavior. Would it make sense, and would it be possible, for the recently released 3.37.1 version of gnome-screenshot to be SRU'd into Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 then? With the current 3.36.0 version, it looks like border inclusion/removal and the border shadow/none effect are broken, or at least really don't work as the GUI states. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/-/issues #82 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/-/issues/82 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1864539 Title: gnome-screenshot adds unnecessary transparent padding around window screenshots To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1864539/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
