Screen Capture Flickering and Not Recording Opened Windows

I hope somebody can help me. Im on Manjaro Gnome and unable to do screen capture properly, recorded video is flickering and only the desktop, mouse and screen capture app is recorded. Newly opened windows does not appear. Tried OBS Studio, vocoscreenNG and simplescreenrecorder with same result.

Sorry cant post link here, if there a work around please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Im new on manjaro my english not very good , sorry for that
I think i know what you mean , i have same problem and follow this steps to solve

Disable Xorg graphic configurations in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
by rename with .bak in last
like “90-mhwd.conf” to “90-mhwd.conf.bak”
let every think else without rename like “keybord.conf” “touchpad.cong”
don’t worry if you didn’t see any graphic config just don’t do any thing

disable Xorg graphic configurations in /etc/X11/
like above if you see anything graphic just rename it with .bak “mhwd.conf” “intel.conf nvidia.conf” etc

at last go to sitting->display and monitor->compositor
and change the Rendering backend to xRender

just sure the “enable compositor on startup”

reboot

that worked for me in kde but i think work anothrs , i hope work for you
