Switched to the BSPWM environment. I noticed that when you just use scrot -s, there are often streaks (shown in the screenshot). I noticed that in other applications for creating screenshots, at the moment of "cutting" the moment into the screenshot, the picture itself freezes. After reviewing man, I saw that --freeze is present and supported in scrot. Why won't this api be connected to -s?
There is no difference, picom, compton, etc. are used.

It's because --freeze (at least the way it's implemented in scrot) is quite hacky and can cause problems with certain software. See the faq on this https://github.com/resurrecting-open-source-projects/scrot/blob/master/FAQ.md#why-isnt-the---freeze-option-enabled-by-default

Instead of using --freeze, can we fix the visual bug of the selection border?

--line mode=edge should fix the borders getting caught in the screenshot. But edge mode has other bugs when compositor is active: #76 which is why it's not the unconditional default.
