> When pressing the keyboard shortcut while a screenshot is running, this screenshot should be aborted and a new one created.
Unfortunately, it already behaves the way you described for me. I cannot reproduce this bug.
Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to figure it out yet. A lot has changed since it was reported; can I ask you to see if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.5 or later? Thanks a lot! Hello, no problem. I tested it right now in KaOS with plasma 6.5 and I cannot reproduce this bug anymore. Thanks Great! |
Created attachment 169859 [details] effect of multiple screenshot SUMMARY Hello, taking multiple screenshots with the keyboard shortcut slows down Plasma which almost freezes. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set a keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot (e.g CTRL+SHIFT+S) 2. Press the keyboard shortcut and draw a rectangle 3. Press again the keyboard shortcut and draw another rectangle 4. Repeat this again 4-5 times OBSERVED RESULT Plasma slows down and then almost freezes. I've 8GB of RAM, with higher RAM it may take more screenshot to freeze. See attached image EXPECTED RESULT When pressing the keyboard shortcut while a screenshot is running, this screenshot should be aborted and a new one created. At the moment it seems that you can stack infinite Spectacle screenshots making Plasma to freeze.
