Description Arimil 2025-10-01 11:31:04 UTC

SUMMARY
Running `spectacle -bno temp.png` will output an image that is twice the size of my display resolution.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run `spectacle -bno temp.png`
2. Open temp.png to see that that the image is 13,120x7,280 instead of matching my display resolution which is 6560x3640.

OBSERVED RESULT
Image is twice the size of my configured resolution.

EXPECTED RESULT
Image is the size of my resolution.

It looks like this may be a duplicate of:

#409762
or
#368939

Which both seem to have differing opinions on how this should work, in the case here the image is twice their perceived size because a single monitor has 1.5 scaling.
