(Core :: WebRTC, defect)

Description

[Cristóbal Veas]

Attachment: In the left screenshot is the expected behaviour and in the right screenshot is the actual behaviour.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 environment variable to start Firefox Nightly (Build ID 20211111211702).
2. Go to https://emilghitta.github.io/TestPages/TestCases/ShareScreen.html and click "Start Capture".
3. Observe the screen share prompt.

Actual results:

The screen share prompt no longer allows to use operating system settings, it only allows to share the entire screen and that screen is in black.

Expected results:

The screen share prompt allows to use operating system settings, so I can properly select to share my entire screen or a window.

It seems that is fixed in latest Nightly. The commit that possibly fixed this is Bug 1739142 [Linux] Enable PipeWire on Linux, r=mjf.

I'd more think bug 1654112 regressed this, but either way it's fixed on.
