Randomly records wrong scene

A typically workflow I'll do is have two OBS instances running at the same time - one recording my webcam with audio, and the other recording my screen with audio. I then merge these together during editing (my editor allows me to sync these via the audio).

Randomly - after recording in OBS, I find that both recordings have recorded my screen. Even though the filesize of the recording that _should_ have recorded my webcam is much larger (the size I'd expect if it was doing as I wanted and recorded my webcam).

It's really frustrating, as I have no idea if it's happening or not until after I finish recording and inspect the recorded videos. So every time I record now - I have no idea if I'm wasting my time or not.

Any ideas what this could be?

Can you please provide the log files from the moment this happens, from both instances of OBS.
