Thank you for your bug report!

I'm afraid the version of Spectacle you're using no longer receives updates or maintenance from KDE. Please upgrade to an active version (6.4 as of the time of writing) as soon as your distribution makes it available to you, or use other application distribution methods such as Flathub. KDE applications can be fast-moving, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one.

If you need help with the old version of Spectacle that you're using, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing help for older releases that are no longer receiving updates from KDE.

If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.

Thanks for understanding!
