Description Richard Parkins 2025-02-20 20:10:39 UTC

SUMMARY
Once a new configuration has been saved, configure button and configure menu option no longer cause any action.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run spectacle
2. Click on Configure Spectacle, configuration page appears
3. Change something and click Apply or OK (I'm not sure which I did)
4. Run spectacle again
5. Click on Configure Spectacle

OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens

EXPECTED RESULT
Configuration page should appear again

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
Qt Version: Qt5

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Configure... menu on screen shown after taking a screenshot doesn't do anything after configuration change either. Documentation doesn't say where the configuration is stored, so I can't look at it to see whether it is corrupted or edit it by hand.

This looks a bit like like bug 190824. Could it be a problem in some shared KDE configuration logic?

I can't install a later version that 23.08.5, which is the latest available for openSUSE Leap 15.6 which I'm running. Problem was not present in openSUSE Leap 15.5, but I think that didn't have a configuration page at all.

Thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately this version is out of support from KDE. Can you upgrade to a version that uses Qt6 and see if the issue happens there as well?

 No, I can't upgrade. As I said, the version that I have is the latest available for my distribution. Qt6 is currently problematic anyway: it requires a library update which breaks other code. Can I downgrade to the version that was released with openSUSE Leap 15.5, which I was much happier with? The visible selection rectangle worked much better for me.
