Greetings.

I've moved from OBS to OBS MP to OBS Studio, and am currently running OBS Studio 0.13.2, 64-bit.

When I add a window for IE/Edge, I get a black panel with mouse-cursor trails.

The current log, wherein I added an MS Edge window, moused around a bit, then removed the window capture, follows.

PS: The "log analyzer" that exists reports my OBS Studio log-files as being incomplete or not log files. I assume the tool hasn't been migrated from OBS to OBS Studio and the log-file format has been altered slightly.

Update: went through this dance, installed DX10, still the same missing-files issue (see log-file).
Also completely uninstalled OBS, OBS-MP, and OBS-Studio. Downloaded the version without browser from the site. Re-installed.

Same artifact.

BUT, the log-file now doesn't complain about missing files.

ALSO, this is limited to the "Window Capture" source
. If I point OBS Studio at the entire display, my Edge window comes through just fine.

Can confirm, OBS-MP seems to struggle with layered windows.

I've looked into this a bit more.

First, I'm not sure why this forum thread even exists. I don't think it's monitored--they've got a Mantis Project page up.

I've reported this bug officially; we'll see what happens, and you may want to check your logfile too--I suspect something was broken in the new version.
 
Not sure why you can't capture IE but Edge is an Universal App which OBS can't capture with Window / Game Capture.
Not sure if this will be possible in the future.
