SUMMARY When capturing rectangular region, sometimes (50%+ of the time) spectacle window disappears even though the process is still active. This happens whether launched in console, via shortcut, or via dbus, and only for the rectangular region mode. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Capture Rectangular region via shortcut or launching spectacle 2. press shortcut key again OR press "take new screenshot" to capture new region (ie. same instance) OBSERVED RESULT sometimes this causes spectacle to disappear. the crosshair may or may not appear for about half a second, then nothing happens, and spectacle window is no longer on taskbar or present in desktop. on console, no errors are reported. spectacle is still present in htop. EXPECTED RESULT show crosshair, and start a new rectangular region selection.

Do you use a delay, no delay or on click? I tested it with all three and couldn't reproduce with your steps
no delay, but it also happens whether i click on "new screenshot" or use the spacebar to activate the button
tried with delay too, and it happened there as well. it's almost like spectacle gets a double click right as the crosshair appears, but then the whole window disappears
The issue seems to have resolved itself, thank you.
