latexocr snip window opaque Ubuntu 23.10

[MathieuFerey]

Hi everyone !

I have successfully installed the pix2tex package on conda, but the gui does not work for me. When running the commande "latexocr", the window pops up, but when trying the snip, the snip window is completely opaque (not very convenient you would agree). Snipping anyway, the code just crashes with the error message

"Sandboxing disabled by user.
This plugin does not support setting window opacity

I am using Ubuntu 23.10, and I am not sure whether my gnome_screenshot is setup wrong. Do you have any idea of what might be the problem ?

Thanks !
