Expected Behavior
Add window source, select running VirtualBox window.
Complete window should be recorded.
Current Behavior
Only a part of the window gets recorded.
Steps to Reproduce
- Add window source
- select running VirtualBox window
Anything else we should know?
Seems to be an error with the pipewire module in version 27.1.3. I downgraded to 27.0.1 and use the previous window capture method (xcomposite) again now. That works.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue on Ubuntu 21.10 with OBS Studio 27.1.3 by capturing a running VirtualBox window, then compare the PipeWire and XComposite window-capture methods; done means the complete VirtualBox window is recorded.
