SUMMARY
I configured spectacle to copy my screenshot without showing itself.
It works on X11, but does not work on Wayland.
It works really weird on Wayland compared to X11, sometimes it saves selected screenshot region between screenshots.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure there is no spectacle process running
2. Press hotkey to make a screenshot
3. Make a screenshot

OBSERVED RESULT
Screenshot not copied in a clipboard

EXPECTED RESULT
Screenshot copied in a clipboard

This was supposed to be fixed in Bug 421974 and it's currently working for me.

Comment 2 d3coder 2021-12-17 19:06:13 UTC

Do you see spectacle window appear after you make a screenshot? It shouldn't appear after the screenshot.
Try to:
1. Run wayland
2. Make sure "copy to clipboard" is enabled in spectacle
3. Reboot or killall spectacle if you started it before or made a screenshot
4. Make a screenshot with a hotkey

What should happen:
1. Spectacle window should not appear
2. Screenshot must be in a clipboard

My bad this is properly fixed only for spectacle 22.06 with KF 5.89
