Comment 1 David Redondo 2019-05-17 09:00:53 UTC 
I think this intended behavior. I see two reasons for that. First the user should know  that a screenshot has been taken for security and privacy concerns  depending on the screenshots because it is saved as a file. For example it could have been triggered by accidentally activating the shortcut. Second if you take a screenshot there is a high chance that you want to interact with it - for example drag and drop it from the notification.
Comment 2 David Redondo 2019-05-17 09:12:11 UTC 
The reasons I gave are my ideas. But I think this is working as intended because I remembering Kai saying that Spectacle should be exempt from Do not disturb while he was implementing the new notifications

Here is spectacle excluded from do not disturb
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2019-05-21 19:12:51 UTC 
Correct, this is behaving as intended. Even in "Do Not Disturb" mode, we show so-called "critical" notifications (e.g. "your laptop is about to run out of power"). Spectacle's notifications are marked as critical for the reasons that David provided.
Comment 5 Kai Uwe Broulik 2019-05-23 13:53:43 UTC 
Well, the bug explicitly states that the setting is broken, not the fact that we have spectacle by default.
I can confirm that unchecking the setting in Spectacle doesn't work. Probably a bug in the code that writes the config, using revertToDefault.
