Description Noah Davis 2023-05-27 22:32:43 UTC

SUMMARY
If you try to use the screenshot effect DBus API to do an interactive screenshot of a popup menu, the menu will disappear and it will not be possible to take a screenshot of it.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Spectacle under kwin_wayland
2. Do a Window Under Cursor screenshot on a delay
3. Open a menu and wait for the interactive window picker

OBSERVED RESULT
The menu disappears when the window picker appears, making it impossible to pick the menu.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be possible to take a screenshot of a menu by picking it in the interactive screenshot mode.
