Hi guys,

Recording a test video or taking screenshots are fine, but somehow my traces’s screenshots are very distorted. I’m only using Firefox and can’t test with another browser.

For example, this is playwright.dev:

 ![page@46c7bf74b79b2c9ec06354fe5e4cf3fc-1727872679602](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotframework1/original/2X/a/ac88e439c18a71fef5773ef9540d3aa7c47243a0.jpeg)

Does somebody know how to fix this weird thing? Is it a bug? I went through the list of open bugs and couldn’t find someone else reporting this.

Many thanks!

System specs :

- Updated Windows 11
- Python 3.12.3
- Browser library 18.8.1
- Robot Framework 7.1
- Playwright 1.47.0
- Firefox 130.0 (Playwright’s custom version)
