Cursor does not work when showing recording area

[antonio24073]

In wayland, when I select record a select area, the cursor (mouse clicks) do not works in the square.

Same here. If the Show a border around the area being recorded option is enabled then I cannot use the mouse cursor in the area being recorded, mouse clicks don't seem to be passed through to the app being recorded. If I turn off Show a border around the area being recorded then it does work (but then of course I have no border).

I can confirm this problem: In occurs, once the "show border around the area being record" option is selected.
Then we add a new St.Widget on top of all windows in gome-shell - this widget only draws its border. But as it is on top of everything else, it receives all events:

EasyScreenCast/selection.js

Line 428 in 5de190b

Main.uiGroup.add_actor(this._areaRecording);

I don't know, how I can forward the event.
E.g. with

this._areaRecording.connect("event", (actor, event) => {
    Lib.TalkativeLog(`-£- got event: ${event}`);
});

you can see the events (every mouse move, click, probably keyboard events as well).
