Bug 506781

I have the same issue, but actually for me it's especially when I select an area and then press 'Enter' to crop my screenshot, it does not copy the image to the clipboard (while before it worked). But if I click on the 'Accept' button under the area I selected, it copies the image properly and I can paste it!

Here is my kinfo:
- Operating System: KDE neon User Edition
- KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.1

- Memory: 32 Gio of RAM (31.0 Gio usable)
- Graphics Processor 1: Intel® Graphics
- Graphics Processor 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU

I'm experiencing this intermittently. Also I've had it seemingly crash or exit when the window of the taken screenshot is simply open on the side. There's nothing in the logs or coredumpctl indicating anything.

Confirming this issue. I'm using Spectacle almost all days and I'm having this issue also. I'm on latest KDE Neon.

Hmm, I can't reproduce this issue with that setting in use. It's now I normally run Spectacle, and it hasn't broken in all the time I've been using it.

Affected people, what default file format are you saving screenshots in?

And are you using any non-default clipboard settings?

~/.config/spectaclerc
```
[General]
clipboardGroup=PostScreenshotCopyImage
launchAction=DoNotTakeScreenshot

[GuiConfig]
captureMode=4
includeDecorations=false
```

What do you mean what format are we saving in? Not doing any saving here.
In System Tray setting I have Clipboard disabled. Don't want my clipboard history tracked.

Trying right now on a fresh boot here, press screenshot button, clicked rectangular region, picked a region, tried pasting it in Kolourpaint. Worked this time.
Second time, did same thing, but Ctrl+V in Kolourpaint pastes nothing (the bug).

> In System Tray setting I have Clipboard disabled

That's probably relevant. If you temporarily re-enable it for testing, does the issue go away?

nope just tried it. It takes many attempts sometimes but eventually it does not copy to clipboard when it says it does

I'm using the clipboard and I have the issue! (as I explained above)

I'm not able to reproduce this using the 6.5 Beta in KDE Neon Testing, after 20 attempts

About how many attempts does it take to reproduce this for folks seeing the bug, if you're on Plasma 6.4.5 or later?

It depends, sometimes the first time, sometimes I need to do lot of captures before it fails, sometimes it works if I close the spectacle window after the capture each time and sometimes not... But the most of the time it fails when I capture something else when the spectacle window is still open as I just captured a screenshot. I'll try to do the last KDE Neon/Plasma updates in the next days and test if I still have issues and then I will come back here to do a feedback about it!

What I'm getting now in Plasma 6.5 is first screenshot works, then 2nd is giving me red X "An error occurred while taking a screenshot."

journalctl shows blank lines when i hit screenshot button

This bug still happens to me in 6.5.3.

Try this:

1. Chat with Google Chat on Google Chrome
2. With Spectacle do a rectangle (any size) on a portion of chat and copy
3. Paste the image to another chat 
Repeat 1, 2 and 3 multiple times

At 99% of times there is one big probability that copy will not work 

My hardware is a Xeon, with no discrete GPU.

I still have this issue even after last update.
