Created attachment 156483 [details] reprezentation of the poor perfromance, along with the observed temporary fix SUMMARY Trying to take a region capture while having a mixed DPI display setup results in spectacle servery lagging/dropping performance. This issue seems to happen even if the display has already been connected (not docking the laptop resulting in a "new" display to be attached) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have a mixed DPI setup (100% and 120% in my case) 2. Try taking a region capture OBSERVED RESULT Selection starts lagging EXPECTED RESULT Should be buttery smooth, just like on one monitor SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro KDE (Unstable branch) (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Running on Plasma Wayland session Going into settings and disabling and re-enabling the scaled display seems to temporarily fix this issue
