SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Disable "include mouse pointer"
2. Use global shortcut to launch Spectacle while, for example, a game is in fullscreen

OBSERVED RESULT

While playing Final Fantasy XIV in fullscreen using Gamescope on top of Plasma (Wayland), I took a screenshot, and ended up with a tiny Spectacle icon floating in the middle of my screenshot.

EXPECTED RESULT

If the cursor is hidden, so too should Launch Feedback.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux: 5.18.5-arch1
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0
Qt Version: 5.15.5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

As a workaround, I have disabled Launch Feedback. Also, I am using Gamescope because without it, while moving the in-game camera around while using Plasma on Wayland, sometimes (somewhat rarely) the camera flips direction instantly; using Gamescope fixes this, and that camera issue does not happen on X11.
