A Screenshot Of How To Configure Spectacle
Interestingly, despite this occurring to both my laptop and desktop immediately upon update to 6.4, it's not been corroborated at https://discuss.kde.org/t/after-the-plasma-6-4-update-see-an-error-occurred-while-taking-a-screenshot-when-i-use-the-print-screen-key-to-capture-a-screenshot-in-spectacle-on-multiple-devices/35858?u=rokejulianlockhart, so perhaps it's unique to something I've done. 🤷 I can't think of what: my installations are mostly stock. I'll create a new Neon VM to confirm. I can't reproduce that; when I set it to "Do not take a screenshot automatically" and press PrintScreen, I get the expected window asking me what kind of screenshot I want to take, and there are no errors. Does this reproduce for you in a new clean user account on the same computer with no customization (other than switching to the "Do not take a screenshot automatically" setting)? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) I'll get back to you in a few hours: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=500038#c13 makes testing that really difficult whilst doing other stuff. I'll test both the laptop and desktop, since they both reproduce it.

It reproduces. I created an entirely new user via the KCM, switched to it, then solely opened Spectacle, customised that preference, and pressed the key, whereupon the banner appeared. Is there some kind of diagnosis I can do on my end to deterministically demonstrate what's going wrong? It's not as if the error message is very verbose. > I can't reproduce that; when I set it to "Do not take a screenshot automatically" and press PrintScreen, I get the expected window asking me what kind of screenshot I want to take, and there are no errors. You need to press it again, on that screen. From closed, one press makes the GUI appear, whereas the other induces the banner. The banner never appears upon first press.

I can reproduce in the live image of `neon-unstable-20250608-1147.iso`.

Created attachment 182441 [details] Reproduction In Another View Per https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=505863#c0, I've somehow managed to reproduce this on another page, so it seems like our reproductions steps always work, but aren't 100% comprehensive. |
