Bug Report Display capture working not-live then not working live

[ReallyBoogerlicious]

Post log: https://obsproject.com/logs/s__hk2riAPk37esL

I've been using OBS studios for the past six months and had no problems until recently with display capture. I have two monitors and always use the 1st monitor for capturing. In the last month, I've opened the software and clicked through my scenes to make sure display capture is working when I'm not live. Then I go live on my starting scene which is a 'going live in x...' scene. When I transition to my stream scene, display capture no longer works. I try getting it to register the second monitor, which it does, but it doesn't register the first monitor again unless I restart the software.

I know there are game capture and window capture options, but I prefer the display capture and would like to keep using it. Is there a way to fix this problem without having to restart the software and disrupt my stream every-time?

Thanks in advance for your help,

You have 3 monitor capture sources but only 2 displays. If you happen to have more than one capture source for the same monitor, it might happen what you describe. This is because multiple monitor captures for the same monitor stomp on each other and only one might get the pictures but not the others. On switching between fullscreen and desktop, the active source that gets the frames might change.

If you need multiple capture sources for the same monitor, use only one source and add additional sources with the "add additional" option and not with "create new". So you have only one real capture and the others are references and are re-using the frames. So remove all captures of one monitor except one and re-add the additional with the "add additional" option.
