Hello Ľudovít, Could you give more info about your system (Plasma and spectacle version, graphics card and so on) and the steps for replication?

Actually I have switched to Debian 9 (stretch) recently and found out that Spectacle does not work for me (the rectancular screenshot take) here either. However in this cause I get at least the bubble with instructions, but I cannot select anything with my mouse (clicking is ignored). The only way out is that I switch to other application e.g. via Alt-Tab. Here it is Plasma 5.8.6 and Spectacle 16.08.3. It may be problematic my desktop resolution as I have three monitors setup (laptop's display (1920x1080), one 4K pivot (2160x3840) external monitor and one Ultra-wide (3440x1440); put in left to right order) totally making a virtual resolution of 7520 by 3840 pixels, of not rectangular area shape. May this "extraordinary" setup be the cause of Spectacle not being able to capture the rectancular area ? For ruling out this is related to your multi-monitor setup, could you just test with your laptop's internal display and report back? Next (maybe this is obvious, but better safe than sorry...), could you confirm that with "clicking is ignored" you specifically mean "press mouse button down, move the mouse both horizontally and vertically, release mouse button"? If not, we should improve the help text. Also, could you please provide some info about your hardware (type of GPU and driver in use, mostly)? Sorry for all those questions, but for me it's working fine ;) If you can provide the information requested in comment #3, please add it. To further investigate this issue, KDE developers need the information requested in comment #3. If you can provide it, or need help with finding that information, please add a comment. No response; changing status. If you have more information, please add a comment. Sorry for not responding quick enough. I just checked that Spectacle works if used only with my primary display (laptop). Yes, the mouse activities as described.
