Description Tulip 2025-10-26 17:09:22 UTC

SUMMARY
The "Include Windows and Titlebars" setting in Spectacle no longer works as intended.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take a screenshot with the setting on
2. Turn it off
3. Take another
4. Realise turning it off did nothing

OBSERVED RESULT
Despite turning the setting off, it still captures the titlebar. I believe the option for shadows is bugged in a similar manner?

EXPECTED RESULT
Turning the setting off should result in no titlebar being captured.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux:  6.17.5-2-cachyos-deckify (64-bit)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0 
Qt Version: 6.10.0

I can reproduce.

But given the prevalence of CSDs it's probably worth just getting rid of the option as it can't work reliably anymore.

I think it'd be nice to keep it for windows that utilise SSDs. Perhaps it can have it's text or tooltip modified to indicate a lack of CSD support and then resolve the option not working for SSD?
Mostly asking for this as no-titlebar window screenshotting is nice for things like games that don't feature built-in screenshot functions.

Can confirm. Likely the same root cause as Bug 510982.
