Description Glenn 2020-10-01 12:59:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have my capture mode area set to 'rectangular region'. When spectacle starts it captures a 'full screen (all monitors)' image. Having 3 monitors, it would helpful for it to preform the configured action upon opening. Works fine so long as I keep it open. I feel like this used to be the behavior.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure: area = Rectangular Region, delay = on click, options = none
2. Press 'prt sc' button

OBSERVED RESULT
Full screen is taken

EXPECTED RESULT
Configured options image should be taken

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Found in shortcuts 4 options are given for taking a screenshot. shift+meta+print will take a region, while shift+print is for full screen. Thus the default option of simply "launching spectacle" should have it use it's configured options.

Seems reasonable.

Master branch has an option to remember the last used capture mode,
but "On click" setting is ignored.
