Description Aleksey Samoilov 2018-04-20 09:18:33 UTC
Spectacle cannot take screenshot under Plasma Wayland session. Captures a blank screen.

I use KDE Neon Dev Unstable on Intel Graphics (i3-550, Ironlake)

Thanks for your message. Could you please tell us which settings you used in Spectacle, and how you triggered the screenshot?

Hm, cannot reproduce with Plasma Wayland on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Did you get the popup message asking you to click or press the Enter key to confirm giving Spectacle access to all of your screens content?

Also, try some of the other capture mode options and see if they work for you when clicking on "Take New Screenshot".
