I have the same problem as you, but I do not know the cause of this error. I have tried several times and found that this error does not occur every time, but even if I find data-test-id="post-content", the screenshot cannot be taken. I have checked the cache file. Found that the interface of the post is normally taken down, but the screenshot of the comment area can not be taken.

any solution for this issue?

[salih-g]

It's occur when story mode disabled

[VanshMarda]

It's occur when story mode disabled

It still occurs when I enable it.
Should I change anything else in the config.toml?

It works for me when enabling story mode but for anyone where it still occurs afterwards here's my config.toml file so you can copy the settings
