STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. start Wayland session 2. make sure both "Copy image to clipboard" and "Auto save the image to the default location" options are checked in Spectacle settings 3. take a screenshot by pressing shift+print (full screen) or meta+shift+print (rectangular region) 4. try to paste the just taken screenshot to an image editor, like KolourPaint or GIMP OBSERVED RESULT screenshot can not be pasted. Also clipboard systray applet does not show any copied image despite "Ignore images" is unchecked in its settings. EXPECTED RESULT screnshot should be copied to clipboard SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2

Well this seemed to be the same 422860, but you are testing with Qt 5.15.2 where we should have the fix for 422860
I experience the problem with these specs: Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.13.13-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
I'm also having this problem on Manjaro's KDE release, fully updated: local/plasma-wayland-session 5.22.5-1 local/plasma-desktop 5.22.5-1 (plasma) local/plasma-framework 5.85.0-2 (kf5) local/qt5-base 5.15.2+kde+r215-1 (qt qt5) local/linux514 5.14.0-0
Can confirm to still be getting this on 5.23 Wayland: Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211016 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.11-1-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 1800X Eight-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Radeon RX Vega
I'm still affected by this bug.
FYI we did the work for Qt6: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/360355 https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/367306 And are now backporting things to KDE Qt Patch collection: First patch https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtwayland/-/merge_requests/18 Then https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwayland/+/360355 will need to be backported too. This will be fixed then after the next arch-linux build of the KDE Qt Patch collection. Unfortunately not all distros uses our KDE Qt Patch collection.

Well the deep down issue is Wayland disallow apps in the background to put things in the clipboard. The solution for this, is to create a dummy surface to be able to send data to the clipboard like the popup_surface in: https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard/blob/master/src/wl-copy.c

Do you think this is worth backporting, Méven?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #15) > Do you think this is worth backporting, Méven? This is not simply feasible. This depends on KF 5.89 that just came out, while KDE Gears is already in dependency freeze. https://community.kde.org/Schedules/KDE_Gear_21.12_Schedule It could be adapted somewhat with #ifdef based on KF version, but expect from rolling distro that should not reach many users.
Ah right, got it.
(In reply to Méven Car from comment #16) > It could be adapted somewhat with #ifdef based on KF version, but expect > from rolling distro that should not reach many users. This is not true. The upcoming Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will have KDE Gears 21.12 in repos and already offers KF 5.89 (will most likely be updated again before release, feature freeze is in february). Ubuntu is a very well known distro, not rolling release and since the next release is a LTS one, this is what many user over many years will get. Please reconsider backporting in some form.
Didn't know this bug was already reported (and fixed!) until I've read Nate's blog post. Great to see it finally fixed. Was bothering me ever since I've started using Wayland. This feature is just to good to use other ways :) Backport would be awesome to have! 22.04 seems like it's going to be light years away ;)

This patch needs latest KDE Qt patch collection to work (https://community.kde.org/Qt5PatchCollection), ubuntu does only ships mainline Qt. Wayland support is simply very degraded without our patch collection. This is a downstream/packager issue.
