Created attachment 104200 [details] Spectacle Loading Cursor Icon Captured in Rectangular Region neon User Edition Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics Also reproduced in VirtualBox 5.1 live session. To reproduce: 1. In application launcher, type "Capture" 2. Select "Capture Rectangular Region - Spectacle" option Always reproducible. Expected: Only the mouse cursor gets included in the selection screen capture. Actual: See screenshot - the Spectacle cursor icon gets caught in the window selection along with the mouse cursor. This only occurs when the rectangular capture mode is selected directly from the application launcher; selecting rectangular region from the Spectacle UI works as expected.
I do not have such a shortcut in the launcher menu (KDE Neon Developer edition), could you shortly check whether you do still have this entry and if yes if the bug still occurs?
Yes, this is still a problem, and affects all capture actions (but not launching Spectacle directly). (Julian: The desktop actions should still be there, otherwise you broke your installation. For example when pinning Spectacle to the taskbar, you should get them when right-clicking.) org.kde.spectacle.desktop contains "StartupNotify=false", and when you normally launch Spectacle, its taskbar entry is hidden before the screenshot is captured. However, for all of the desktop actions from the context menu (as defined in the lower part of the desktop file) this does not seem to work, for them the taskbar entry (along with all startup animations and bouncy cursors) is still shown and captured. Kai: The desktop file notification handling does not seem like an issue specific to Spectacle. Do you know which component this should be assigned to?
Ah, I figured out why the actions didn't show up when I searched for "Capture": Those entries are translated (to "Aufnehmen" in german). I'm now also able to reproduce this bug with KDE Neon.

Can't reproduce this , neither on X11 nor Wayland using Manjaro. Will have to try some other distro. But what I do notice after the image gets saved: spectacle keeps running in the background '/usr/bin/spectacle --dbus' Can you check if an instance of spectacle keeps running?

(In reply to Antonio Prcela from comment #8) I was able to reproduce it on Arch Linux, Wayland. Regarding your question about an instance of Spectacle still running: it is running, but no `--dbus` option here on my system. My guess is that the process is related to the "after" screenshot GUI (that allows me to edit the captured image, etc).

To reproduce, go into system settings and set animation speed to the lowest possible value. You should also be able to reproduce this with low-medium high animation speed values. Without looking into code, I would guess that the delay before taking a screenshot does not take into account the global animation speed and is probably hardcoded or machine dependent.

Created attachment 157429 [details] screenshot of Spectacle 23.04 beta This bug persists with Spectacle 23.04 beta. Please see the screenshot attached to this comment. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Graphics Platform: Wayland
Can confirm, unfortunately. Full Screen and Rectangular Region screenshots taken form the main window with 0 delay still exhibit the issue for me on Wayland.
I've split out issues regarding the main window itself inappropriately appearing in screenshots into Bug 423435. The originally reported issue here should be fixed now.
