Bugs

Browser: Chrome 129.0.6668.89
OS: Linux Mint 21.3
URL: https://staging.erasmus-campus.de/
Video: https://youtu.be/HhujfkdX4Vc

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Build a section
  2. Interaction > Enter viewport > Start animation > FadeInRight
  3. Save this section as a template

Current Results:
The screenshot is blank.

Expected Results:
The screenshot should show what the section looks like after the animation triggers.

Notes:
I realize there’s no way to account for all possible interaction settings and animations when creating the screenshot and my example is just one out of many possible ones that might not get screenshotted correctly.

As a workaround, a user should have the option to “protect” templates from the automatic screenshot generation. That way, we can make our own screenshots without them being overwritten if we press the “generate screenshots” button.

Currently using Bricks 1.11 beta, but the issue also occurs in the latest stable version.

Observation:
Why are screenshots of not-so-tall sections generated with a bunch of white space at the bottom? Is this behaviour intended?

Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for your report!

I reproduced the issue and added it to our bug tracker.

If you set your own screenshot as the featured image, the automatic thumbnail generation won’t override the featured image.

Regarding the observation: I can’t /don’t know how to replicate the issue :thinking:

Best regards,
timmse

Thanks! Awesome! This is good to know.

I will tinker some more with the screenshots and let you know what I observe about the bottom whitespace. Perhaps it has to do with AT.
