Is this compiled from source? Is your KWin from /usr/bin/ and your Spectacle from somewhere else? If so, this is unfortunately expected. This happens because of a security mechanism from KWin. Your KWin must be from the same install prefix as Spectacle. The locations of any .desktop files that launch Spectacle can also affect where the system thinks Spectacle is from.
Not exactly, I compiled Plasma dev through the AUR so the install prefix is /usr/bin in all cases. The thing is that it fixed itself after a while but it can break again in any time (I think). The .desktop files- I don't know. I just compiled and installed the -git packages and didn't touch anything else. It's still failing randomly: when it doesn't work, it freezes the whole graphics pipeline and half a minute later shows the "did not receive a reply". 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.

I already posted the most info I can provide, there are no backtraces and no other way I know to diagnose, I do know that everything is installed on /usr prefix 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
