SUMMARY
Spectacle doesn't quit correctly in a rather specific case, causing an issue with the toolbar


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the following checkboxes:
- Quit after manual Save or Copy
- Accept on click and release
2. Use the Shortcut for Capture rectangular region and do it
3.  Use the Shortcut for Capture rectangular region again

OBSERVED RESULT
The draggable toolbar doesnt open the second time, because Spectacle never closed to begin with after the first time.

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle closes after the first capture and reopens when the Shortcut is called again, making it possible to use the toolbar the second time the Shortcut is invoked.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma
KDE Plasma Version:  5.27.4

    -Do not take a screenshot automatically

    -Copy image to clipboard

    -Never

UPDATE:
Every time I try to capture an image, I get this error on journalctl:
systemd[686]: Failed to start /usr/bin/qdbus
I don't know if this is just on my end, if it is Manjaro KDE related or if it is a common issue, but I guess mentioning it is the best thing to do.

This seems to have been fixed at some point between 23.04 and 24.12
