There's already a few posts about Linux screen share being buggy. When sharing your whole screen, if you have multiple Monitors, Discord streams all Screens.

This has not been a bug with Discord, but with Chromium. But Google has fixed this issue more than half a year ago. When you open Discord on a browser, the bug doesn't occur anymore. So, simply speaking, all you have to do is update Discord to run on a newer version of chromium. 

That's probably easier said than done, I've actually no idea how exactly Electron handles that. Still, I do not think this would be such a hard challenge for the Discord Engineers, while it would reduce pain by 100%.
