SUMMARY
When using the screenshot tool to crop a rectangular area for a screenshot the screen changes what is shown on it and displays it improperly (offset to the side and height), making it difficult to select the correct area for the screenshot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use spectacle (kde-spectacle)
2. Make new screenshot
3. choose screenshot of rectangular area

OBSERVED RESULT
The screen is shown and an area can be selected.
The screenshot will match what was shown in the area.

EXPECTED RESULT
The screen is shown in a distorted way and an area can be selected.
The screenshot matches the normal screen, not the distorted one, thus making the screenshot appear as taken in the wrong place.
