SUMMARY Full screen recording will not record the monitor / display I click on, but apparently always the primary screen. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Have two displays / monitors connected 1. Open Spectacle 2. Switch to the "Recording" tab 3. Click "Full Screen" 4. Click on the 2nd display (the non-primary monitor) when the mouse cursor turns into a reticle - I assume this is supposed to select the screen? 5. Wait, to record a few seconds of video 6. Click the red dot in the systray to end the recording (or press "Finish Recording" in the Spectacle window) OBSERVED RESULT The recorded video shows the primary screen, even though I click on the 2nd screen in step 4. EXPECTED RESULT I would expect the 2nd screen to be recorded, because that's where I clicked with the reticle in step 4. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.8.0 Qt Version: 6.8.0 Kernel Version: 6.11.7-300.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz Memory: 62,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Xe Graphics Manufacturer: TUXEDO Product Name: TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen6 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The behaviour is independent of where the Spectacle window is shown. It is also independent of whether I click on the desktop background of the 2nd screen or on a window on the 2nd screen.
