I seem to have an issue with screen recording on plasma.
Anyone else have an idea what this is coming from / how to fix it.

its to note that the issue is only visible in recordings, so on my display it looks good as long as i don’t look at the obs window or the recording itself.
Might be interesting to note that the issue is only with desktop capture.
If I capture a window it works, but its only one window of course, so not usable if i want to record the desktop, but works if I just want to record a window.
