I confirm this on Spectacle 6.4.3 on Plasma built from git-master. Oops, we actually removed the giant instructional text box, but I guess we forgot to remove the UI to toggle it on or off. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > Oops, we actually removed the giant instructional text box, but I guess we > forgot to remove the UI to toggle it on or off. Could you clarify which text box you're talking about? Because as of 6.4.5.1 I am still seeing a textbox in the middle of the screen when capturing a region that says "Click and drag to make a selection" I assumed that the checkbox mentioned in the bug was for that specific textbox, perhaps I was mistaken?

Committed on 03/10/2025 at 17:07. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Remove unused "show capture instructions" option Spectacle used to have a giant instructional text box in the Rectangular Region UI. That was removed in Plasma 6.4, but the UI option to toggle it remained, and now does nothing. Rather than applying this UI option to the new very small "Click and drag to make a section" label, just delete it.
