Description Patrick Silva 2017-11-02 22:47:35 UTC

My summary says by itself.
Cursor is captured when I open spectacle from apps menu and take a screenshot in "active window" mode.
Tested on neon dev unstable.

Can you confirm that "Include Mouse Pointer" is checked?

Is this when using X11, or Wayland?

Comment 2 Patrick Silva 2017-11-03 13:20:40 UTC

yes, it's checked.

under X11. meta+print is not working under Wayland.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2017-11-04 01:35:01 UTC

Interesting, I can't reproduce with Spectacle from git master on X11 in KDE Neon.

Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2017-11-04 01:54:10 UTC

I just created a new user account to test: same bug.
Weird...

Comment 5 Patrick Silva 2017-11-18 22:44:05 UTC

Same thing on Arch Linux, plasma 5.11.3.

Found the issue. Go to System Settings > Shortcuts > Global Shortcuts > Screenshots > Take Active Window Screenshot > Action. Then change  "true, false" to "true, true". Evidently the second argument concerns whether or not the cursor is included with the screenshot. Here's a patch that changes it: https://phabricator.kde.org/D8893

(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6)

> false" to "true, true".

Correct way on my neon dev unstable is System Settings > Shortcuts > Custom  Shortcuts > Screenshots > Take Active Window Screenshot > Action

Your tip works, cursor is captured now.
Thank you Nate.

We haven't achieved consensus on whether this should be made the default or not, and there is a way to change the setting as a user, so I'm afraid I have to close the bug.
