A Screenshot Of Spectacle, With Part Of Its Window Obscured

# SUMMARY

The bottom of the window is obscured after capturing screenshots.

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Invoke `spectacle --gui --launchonly`.

1. Switch to the “Recording” tab.

3. Capture a screencast, to ensure that solely the banner is visible.

# OBSERVED RESULT

The bottom of the window, which includes a button, is obscured, because the window cannot be resized (except for when one employs https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/issues/713#issuecomment-2859022943, but that's tangential).

# EXPECTED RESULT

It should not be obscured.

I can't reproduce this one, for me the window resized as needed. Was this window inside a custom tile when you tried that?

(In reply to Akseli Lahtinen from comment #2)

No. (Otherwise, this wouldn't be a bug!) It merely appears somewhat rarely, when Spectacle captures a screencast, in its default state. I can try to capture a screencast of it reproducing, but that's very difficult to how inconsistent it is. If any way to retroactively diagnose exists, that'd be easier...
