SUMMARY
I have a script that uses spectacle cli for automatically exporting screenshots copied to clipboard, and after the recent Plasma 6.5 release, it seems to have broken only when using the `-n` flag on the cli.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use spectacle -bcrsn to take a regional screenshot
2. Try to paste output in dolphin (nothing happens)
3. spectacle -bcrs to take a regional screenshot
4. Try to paste output in dolphin (prompted to save file)

OBSERVED RESULT
spectacle -bcrsn fails to copy a regional screenshot to clipboard, and the clipboard remains empty

EXPECTED RESULT
spectacle -bcrsn should copy a screenshot to the clipboard

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.0
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.10.0
