Version: 0.8.1 (using KDE 4.3.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I used to see a rectangle designating the selected region when snapshotting a region, but I don't see that anymore. I use compiz and ubuntu KDE packages from launchpad.
does it work with kwin?
No, kwin has the problem also. The video card is Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (lspci output), using xserver-xorg-video-intel driver 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2. I would make a snapshot of the problem, but 1. That would be a recursive problem since I would need Ksnapshot for that and 2. It would show 'nothing', which isn't that interesting after all ;) I /do/ see the dimensions of what should be the center of my selection however!
The same happens on 2 other Kubuntu (karmic) machines, both sporting (mobile) intel chipsets.
Can confirm this. Running Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.2, KSnapshot 0.8.1 When Region is selected, it doesn't 'paint' the area being selected - you have no visual means of verifying the area being selected.
I too confirm this. Running Kubuntu x64 v9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.2, KSnapshot 0.8.1 Selected Region is not 'painted'. No means of verifying what area has been selected.

KSnapshot 0.8.1 / Kubuntu 9.10 (i386) / KDE 4.3.2 / Ati (xserver-xorg-video-ati) Here the KSnapshot seems to work normally. Image:http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/9277/ksnapshot.png. Are you all using the Ubuntu/Intel. Is that the common cause ? Maybe this is an Intel driver bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel.
This problem is fixed for me using Kubuntu Karmic (backports repository enabled). Versions of relevant(?) packages at the moment: ksnapshot: 4:4.3.4-0ubuntu1~karmic1 (about dialog: Version 0.8.1) libdrm-intel1: 2.4.14-1ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.1 kernel: 2.6.32 (homebrew) with i915 KMS enabled.
the intel driver update that came in on or around the 18th of jan 2010 fixed this for me. Kubuntu 9.10 (Karmic), KDE 4.3.3, KSnapshot 0.8.1 with onley standerd repos (all the ones you can check in software sources) and medibuntu VINNY
Can confirm. The updated xserver-xorg-video-intel: Version: 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2.1 Replaces: xserver-xorg (<< 6.8.2-35), xserver-xorg-driver-i810, xserver-xorg-video-i810 (<< 2:1.9.91-1), xserver-xorg-video-i810-modesetting, xserver-xorg-video-intel-modesetting Provides: xserver-xorg-video-5 Which came in yesterday (for me) has fixed the problem.
