Taking screenshot hides then shows Spectacle button in Task Manager
Spectacle Single Window Usage |
||
Can reproduce, but I'm not sure what we could do about this. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Can reproduce, but I'm not sure what we could do about this. The real problem is the usage of two windows, and most of Spectacle components in the initial window are simply duplicated on the second window that appears after a screenshot is taken. Why not use only one window and make components availability, size and position based on initial or finished state and screenshot or video recording. See attached image for more info.

This is actually how Spectacle used to work, but it was very bad for multi-DPI screen support since a window can only have one screen scale at a time.

Created attachment 158771 [details] Taking screenshot hides then shows Spectacle button in Task Manager If Spectacle is open then you take a screenshot delay, its entry in Task Manager is hidden and then shown which causes the whole task manager space to shrink then spread again, at that moment the screenshot is taken which results in messy look in Task Manager. See attached image for more info.
