A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5516 I can duplicate this on Neon 6.0.2 Wayland with the instructions provided. Thanks. Noah, is this different from Bug 478426? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > Noah, is this different from Bug 478426? yes This is fixed with the commits in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5516, authored by Volodymyr Zolotopupov. They'll appear in Plasma 6.0.5 Yep, that's me :) Thanks for the merge! My screenshots taken on the external display are still blurry, am I missing the correct version containing the fix?

This issue is about a blurry window or rectangular screenshot.

less blurry from spectacle (if window moved to laptop display and region captured there)
Just to be clear: are you comparing the results by viewing them in Spectacle? Is the saved result equally blurry? (In reply to zvova7890 from comment #16) > Just to be clear: are you comparing the results by viewing them in > Spectacle? Is the saved result equally blurry? Hi, no the "blurry from spectacle" is captured with spectacle and then opened in gwenview. On my laptop it shows blurry (I dunno if it's a problem with gwenview, I hope you see it blurry as well) Created attachment 171691 [details]
screen recording
The image is also bigger than the actual content. Although gwenview confirms it's displaying it at 100%, you can clearly see that the text in the captured screenshot has not the original size. My screen configuration: laptop display 2256x1504@120% external monitor 2560x1440@100% -> this is where the capture happens Now I see. It is a problem with rectangular screenshots in multiscreen systems with different output scale. The windowed screenshots are just fine. It is a separate issue. While this issue is about screenshot clarity depending on the window's(or rectangle) position and size. Please file another issue. It seems Spectacle is taking a composited image from all screens, regardless of whether it is making a rectangle for only one screen or if the rectangle joins several screens. The selected part is then cropped from this composited image, which is blurred under Wayland. (In reply to zvova7890 from comment #20) > Now I see.
