ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Can confirm I've been having this problem on Plasma Wayland 5.27 Beta (5.26.90). When I use Spectacle, I use it as a rectangle capture tool and copy directly to clipboard, because I always paste images where I want them immedaitely which is usually to instant messaging apps. I never save to file, so this is rather inconvenient.

Attaching my spectaclerc after this comment and a screenshot. My config is also visible in that screenshot. I've configured Spectacle to not take a screenshot automatically, not save file to folder, to copy image to clipboard and accept on click-and-release.

I tried:
1) Executing "spectacle -rbnci" in a terminal then taking a screenshot
2) Capturing a rectangular region via the shortcut as defined in Plasma Settings
3) Opening Spectacle's GUI and taking a new rectangular screenshot through that

None of these methods copies the image to the clipboard like I've told it to do.
Can confirm that all other capture methods DO copy to clipboard successfully.

Plasma Wayland 5.26.90
Frameworks 5.102.0
Qt 5.15.8
Linux 6.1.9
AMDGPU driver (Mesa 22.3.4) if that matters.

Comment 5 Geraldo Simião 2023-02-05 14:07:07 UTC

But this bug doesn't happens when I'm on X11 (xorg) session.

Comment 6 lrdarknesss 2023-02-11 11:44:37 UTC

I can also confirm this bug on Manjaro Linux.
It's quite annoying, so I would be very happy if it will be fixed quickly, which shouldn't be too hard since it's working when you click the button.

Comment 7 Ridge 2023-02-14 17:42:32 UTC

Cannot reproduce in Plasma 5.27 (now works as expected), can anyone else confirm that this is fixed now?

Comment 8 Alberto García 2023-02-14 22:14:05 UTC

I can confirm that this seems to be fixed in Plasma 5.27
