I forgot to mention in the report (oops), but this did not happen on my first login when upgrading to the Plasma 5.23.90 beta. It wasn't until I opened the Spectacle application for the first time that this began happening. It seems to persist when rebooting too. It sounds a bit like the `spectacle` process is secretly still open in the background even when it's main window is not visible. Can you check that? If you find that this is the case, can you try to terminate its process (`killall spectacle` in a terminal window should do it) and then try the global shortcut again and see if it does what you expect? Very strange, when testing for you now I have been unable to reproduce the issue. On my laptop running Plasma 5.23.90 I am also unable to reproduce the issue. Huh. To answer your question though, I can't seem to get the spectacle process to run in the background. Perhaps in these instances, for whatever reason it was, but I am unable to check now. Occasionally I've had other issues that might be related to spectacle running in the background: When attempting to take a regional screenshot, occasionally on my laptop it would remember the previous region, but this has resolved itself since yesterday it appears. I'll report back if I'm able to reproduce this and if I am, hopefully I'll have more information to share regarding this.
