Spectacle fails to create any screenshots when following the steps as I outlined them below. When trying so, Spectacle simply does nothing and is vanished. There isn't a layer as usual. However if "when clicking" is activated it works. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Spectacle 2. Be sure that rectangular selection is selected 3. Set no delays 4. Unset "when clicking" (next to delay) 5. Try making a new selection OBSERVED RESULT Rectangular selection does nothing and closes Spectacle EXPECTED RESULT A layer to select a rectangular area SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0 Qt Version: 5.14.1
Cannot reproduce with 19.12.3 or neither with 20.04 release candidate and master

Are you on wayland or X11?

Yeah works for me too. Since spectacle is crashing, please attach a crash log and console output (i.e. run `spectacle` on the command line so you can see any output when it crashes). For more information see https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Crash_reports_must_include_backtraces
It worked once for me when starting from my terminal but most of the time it doesn't console output: kf5.kconfig.core: "\"cropRegion\" - conversion of \"0,0,0,0\" to QRect failed" But this seems to come in both cases not only when it doesn't work I have no idea how to include backtraces, the link doesn't help in this regard
So it doesn't crash but the region selection thing doesn't show itself? The message you are seeing means we are already in the constructor of the region selector, hmm...
