  • Closing ALL windows on all screens fixes the frozen screen (so does logging out/rebooting).
  • Killing and restarting polybar makes polybar clickable again on the frozen screen. All other windows on the frozen screen will still be unresponsive.
  • I tried screensharing with compton disabled
  • I tried screensharing without Nvidia's DRM KMS
  • I tried running Firefox in safe mode
  • I tried disabling hardware acceleration in both Firefox and Discord
  • I tried only connecting one monitor instead of 3
  • I tried using i3 instead of bspwm. i3 only shows the windows and 'Entire screen', which would show all screens if more than one screen is connected. I can't pick a single screen.
  • I tried using awesomewm, same result as i3.

  1. What software/technology do Firefox and Discord use to share screens? Do Chromium and Microsoft Teams use different software?

  2. What software/technology does bspwm use to share screens? i3 doesn't even provide the option to share a particular screen, so they must use different technologies.

  3. What else can I provide (logs, system info, ...)?
