A Demonstrative Screencast

# SUMMARY

I am unable to choose the “Include window titlebar and borders” option when recording a screencast. This causes some screencasts, of which https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=186381&action=edit is an example, to be difficult to understand.

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- Execute `spectacle --record` without `--no-decorations`.

- Execute `spectacle --launchonly`, then switch to the “Recording” tab.

# OBSERVED RESULT

I am unable to choose the “Include window titlebar and borders” option when recording a screencast.

# EXPECTED RESULT

I should be able to choose it for `--record`, too.
