Adding the x11-only keyword |
SUMMARY Screen freezes when taking a delayed screenshot with Spectacle from the floating panel. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Spectacle. 2. Take a screenshot using the "Rectangular region" option. 3. In the floating panel that appears after the initial screenshot, go to Options and set the delay to 2 seconds. 4. In the floating panel, initiate the screenshot. OBSERVED RESULT The screen freezes, but the system remains completely functional. As a workaround, a terminal can be opened with the systemctl --user restart plasma-kwin_x11.service command to restart KWin and resolve the freeze. EXPECTED RESULT The screenshot should be taken after the 2-second delay without causing the screen to freeze. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: N/A macOS: N/A Linux/KDE Plasma: Garuda Linux x86_64 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The bug with the delay only happens after taking the screenshot from the emerging floating panel that appears after you have taken one screenshot before.
