SUMMARY I've got a 4K monitor and a 1080p one and I use xrandr to scale the 1080p display. But then after I click 'Take a snapshot', all displays just get messed up with contents showing in wrong monitors. It's again normal after quitting the snapshot mode though. STEPS TO REPRODUCE First of all, my display layout: Display layout: ┌----------------┐┌--------------------------┐┌------------------┐ | 1920x1080 DP-0 || || 1920x1080 HDMI-0 | └----------------┘| 3840x2160 DP-3 |└------------------┘ | | └--------------------------┘ 1. Run 'xrandr --output DP-0 --auto --left-of DP-3 --output DP-3 --auto --primary --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of DP-3 --scale 2.0' (I put it in SDDM Xsetup) 2. Launch Spectacle 3. Click 'Take a snapshot' OBSERVED RESULT Display layout becomes sort of messy and broken in snapshot mode. EXPECTED RESULT All contents in all monitors remain untouched in snapshot mode. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.63.0 Qt Version: 5.13.1 Kernel Version: 5.3.7-arch1-1-ARCH OS Type: 64-bit ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GPU: Nvidia GTX980M Driver: Nvidia proprietary Compositor scale method: Accurate Compositor backend: OpenGL 3.1
After applying the patch from bug 385885 and scaling both of the 1080p monitors with xrandr --scale 2.0, Spectacle now works so it seems that this issue only happens when the monitors have different panning configurations in my setup.
> After applying the patch from bug 385885 Hmm, this is strange. Is there any chance that you verify whether https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385885#c43 fixes this bug as well?
I can confirm this is fixed now using 21.04.2 after bug 385885 was fixed.
