Screenshare in EC within ED selects the wrong window to share(!) #2735

Description

@ara4n

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start an EC call within ED (macOS)
  2. Start a screenshare
  3. You get a choice between "share entire screen" and "share window"
  4. No matter what you select on, it appears to share ED itself (which can be pretty embarrassing if you weren't expecting to suddenly share your Element with the people on the call...)
  5. You also don't seem to get a choice to select which window to share.

Outcome

What did you expect?

Screenshare choice not to be ignored.

What happened instead?

It always tries to screenshare ED itself, no matter what you ask for.

This is a borderline security issue, given risk of accidentally leaking data.
