SUMMARY
Spectacle appears to be causing kde to freeze when used with focus-follow-mouse

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable focus-follow-mouse
2. open spectacle (press print screen key)
3. Click the 'Rectangular region' button
4. Select an area of the screen to capture
5. Select 'Save As'
6. Allow the mouse to wander outside of the save-as dialogue box

OBSERVED RESULT
The save-as dialogue appears to drop behind the captured region and there is now no way to interact with the kde session, the whole user interface is unresponsive. The only fix is to alt-tab to a console and kill the spectacle process.

EXPECTED RESULT
Not to lock up the user interface.

Thanks for the report! I can reproduce this on my system as well, with the added detail that setting Focus follows mouse isn't necessary to trigger it - clicking or tabbing away in Click to focus mode at Step 6 also produces the observed result.
