Shotlog raises itself over the pane's active webview on every image read, hijacking screen recordings

John Lauer · 3h ago

2026-10-19/20, a long full-screen recording of an AI thread working in Hydrogen (the AI's dashboard in a webview tab in the right pane): every time the AI read a screenshot or image, the Shotlog webview tab came to the front of that pane and stayed there, covering the dashboard the film was meant to show. A large part of the night's footage shows Shotlog's capture list instead of the live app.

Asks:

  • Don't activate (raise) the Shotlog tab automatically while a recording is running (Hydrogen's native recorder or an ab desktop/window take), or make auto-raise a setting that defaults off.
  • At least never steal the active tab from another webview in the same pane; badge the Shotlog tab instead.
