Description Anestis Vovos 2024-07-03 18:07:32 UTC

Application: spectacle (23.08.5)

Qt Version: 5.15.13
Frameworks Version: 5.115.0
Operating System: Linux 6.8.0-36-generic x86_64
Windowing System: X11
Distribution: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
DrKonqi: 5.27.11 [KCrashBackend]

-- Information about the crash:
When I open spectacle and press the "Save as..." button it crashes every time. The same happens with LibreOffice and many other applications when "Save as..." is pressed, it is not restricted to spectacle. The "Save" thoufg works as expected. This started after upgrading to 24.04 from 23.10

The crash can be reproduced every time.

-- Backtrace:
Application: Spectacle (spectacle), signal: Aborted

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to look into it 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!

Comment 3 Anestis Vovos 2025-11-16 19:36:00 UTC

Hello and thank you for looking into it. Unfortunately I do not have my old setup to test. Because of the problems I faced I switched to OpenSuse Tumbleweed erasing the old system. I do not have any issues with the new setup.

Comment 4 Nate Graham 2025-11-17 15:08:54 UTC

Great, let's call it fixed.
