Upon reviewing session management, this ties into Bug #437368: "Spectacle Takes Screenshot Without Being Prompted To Do So": How to reproduce the issue: - Take screenshot with spectacle and choose "copy to clipboard. The process "spectacle" will still be running. - Use following setting in "Startup and Shutdown" -> "Desktop Session": "When Logging in" : Restore previous session - Reboot. Rebooting will restart the Spectacle process from your previous session and cause a screenshot to be captured during the boot screen. Short-term fix: - Under settings "Startup and Shutdown" -> "Desktop Session" add "kde-spectacle" to list of "Don't restore these applications". *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 437368 *** |
