Installed both using Synaptic and Ubuntu Software Center

It seems to take a snapshot OK.  When you click on "Save as" it "pop's under"

I thought that at one time the program used to work.  I particularity like the delay feature.

Reassigning as this is a problem with KSnapshot, not KScreenGenie/Spectacle.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you!
