Got the issue again, and found a fix for it this time. Removing animations from selection fixes this issue. so the layerrule layerrule = noanim, selection works.

This is a grimblast issue. But we can add the fixes on our script, though it might be redundant.

does hyprshot wrap around grimblast? because i had this issue in that also.

[kRHYME7]

the layer "selection" is from slurp . which is used for almost anything to get geometry., used by grimblast and hyprshot. (The transparent layer you see when doing a screenshot )

I don't have this issues.

But if disabling the animation for the layer "selection" fixes this issue , feel free to open a PR I will merge it. We don't really need any animation for this tool.
