I have the exact same issue. It is inconsistent as well. I feel like if you are fast (like within 1 second) its in the clipboard and you can paste it. Then something clears it out. Same behavior between both flameshot and spectacle. The images show in the clipboard manager and I can toggle between the previous and latest to restore it to the clipboard and then paste it. Operating System: CachyOS Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.15.4-4-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 8-Core Processor Memory: 64 GiB of RAM (62.4 GiB usable) Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Manufacturer: ASRock Product Name: X870E Taichi Lite I can also confirm that this bug also happens on my machine when playing games - any screenshots (either rectangular snips or full) taken ingame can't be pasted anywhere (about 9 out of 10 times - sometimes it works). To elaborate on the previous comments, I think that it only affects games running in borderless windowed mode (or forced to fullscreen via taskbar menu). Whenever I run a game in "true" fullscreen (or in a window), the screenshots seem to work fine, ie. they can be pasted normally. OS: Manjaro (Wayland) KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.13.12-2 (64-bit) I have the same issue, when I look in my clipboard contents, it shows up as an empty bar or empty image. I can paste the failed screenshot into obsidian, it recognizes it as an image but shows 'broken image' pictogram. Opening the spectacle application instead of using the screenshot button sometimes works; other times I'd have to click "new image" after opening the program and then it would work.
