Research direction
Reproduce the issue in OBS Studio on a Linux XFCE desktop with display scaling set above 1x, then inspect the linked OBS log and the XSHM screen-capture entry points. Compare the reported capture geometry with the physical display dimensions. Done means Screen Capture (XSHM) renders the desktop correctly at non-1x scaling.
