Unable to use normcap on hyprland multimonitor #822
Description
What happened?
Running ./NormCap-0.6.0-x86_64.AppImage turns my secondary monitor completely black and my secondary monitor display goes to my primary monitor. It also incorrectly captures a region, it tilts from the one that was actually selected. It used to work on GNOME on same setup.
How did you install NormCap?
AppImage (Linux)
Operating System + Version?
Fedora 43
[Linux only] Display Server (DS) + Desktop environment (DE)?
Display Server (DS): Wayland + Compositor / WM: Hyprland
