I can confirm this on Google Pixel 4a as well.

Thank you for the reminder. I have no device with Android 11 to test, but now the AOSP sources are available, so I think this commit fixes it: bb760be58ba0d41ad9ef320a0c61623198bf4221

Here is the server with the fix:

scrcpy-server
_SHA256: d5737014d433b26209eeb68b99ad718fc9dc251afac0a68dd6a691fbebd56c5b_

(to replace in v1.16 release)

Thank you so much for this!

I'm on snap beta channel, and unfortunately have no idea how to easily update scrcpy-server to do a test, since all snap apps are protected via SquashFS. I've checked this (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1035127/cannot-modify-files-installed-by-snap), but not comfortable to hack away for a test.

The following are read-only:

/snap/scrcpy/251/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server
/snap/scrcpy/249/usr/local/share/scrcpy/scrcpy-server

I'm on beta channel:

channels:
  latest/stable:    v1.16            2020-09-03 (254) 86MB -
  latest/candidate: ↑                                      
  latest/beta:      v1.16-4-g0be766e 2020-09-03 (251) 86MB -
  latest/edge:      v1.12-1-g71df317 2019-12-10 (202) 81MB -
installed:          v1.16-4-g0be766e            (251) 86MB -

If it isn't too hard to push your change to edge channel I could do tests. Thanks again!

You could provide an alternative path to the server:
