Taking a screenshot of a program that includes a dropdown menu or any plasma popup is not possible How to reproduce: 1. Click on any plasma popup menu (or use a program that includes a dropdown menu) 2. Take a screenshot 3. Plasma menu disappears (closes) The same issue is present on xorg however there we can set up a delay in spectacle. On wayland this does not work.
The problem is that the keyboard focus while taking a screenshot is taken away from the application and they react by closing popups. I'm aware of this general problem, though I do not really have an idea for the problem.
I got a similar issue on wayland: - I set screenshot app to "Delay" mode - click "Take a new screenshot" - I expect the screenshot to be created after 3 sec instead a popup in top/left corner is displayed: "new screenshot with left click or enter ..." This doesn't allow me to get screenshot of any application's dropdown menu Let me know if I have to open a separate bug report.
No, that's the same problem. Currently it's not possible to screenshot a context menu or dropdown and I honestly don't have an idea yet on how to do it.
I have a very similar problem as well. When I press the PrintScreen button Spectacle (the default screen capture utility for KDE Neon) is not executed. This happens when I try to take a screenshot of the menu that appears after I do a right click on a program in the Application Launcher. I would love to have this functionality in order to be able to submit a bug report for a completely separate issue! :P Please note however that I face this problem on X11!

Currently tooltips such as the ones of bug 395690 do not appear on screenshots. > The problem is that the keyboard focus while taking a screenshot is taken away from the application and they react by closing popups. Would it be possible to let them retain the focus (or have them think so), but filter out any event so that they receive nothing? I expect such a functionality to be useful in multiple places in kwin. An alternative way could be to provide an interface to ask permission before taking the screenshot. Spectacle could add a button "request permission to record screen", and that would allow this capability for the duration of the program run. But I might be mistaken, and such a thing might be already possible trough portals?

I can take a screenshot including dropdown, popup (kickoff, plasma-pa, plasma-nm, for example) and context menu on neon dev unstable running Wayland session. However, it's still impossible to take a screenshot including a tooltip. Operating System: KDE neon Developer Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.12.0
As far as I know, panel popups are "normal" windows.
