Created attachment 134814 [details] different screens
The screen in the Spectacle is long off. This web page is below the Spectacle window.
This is a terrible problem, not being able to use screenshot. At the moment I am using GIMP to take screenshots. Reinstalled Spectacle few times, but it doesn't work as it should. Is there any other KDE screenshot app?
Are you using X11 or Wayland?
X11
Thanks. Do you have multiple screens connected to this computer?
No. It is a Lenovo laptop. By the way, I tested the matter by installing Flameshot, and it also has the same problem. So, could be problem of Endeavour/Arch system with KDE Plasma. I just tested Spectacle on OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Spectacle works very well. With EndeavourOS/Arch, Spectacle doesn't get cleared, when closed.
Is there a way to clear the cache of Spectacle manually? Or is there another app/dependency within Spectacle that has to be cleared?
I changed the compositor to Xrender and Spectacle worked. It doesn't work if it is on OpenGL 2.0 or 3.1, Spectacle gets stuck. Do you see any reason for this?

> How to get that done? You open a terminal (like konsole), then type in spectacle and hit the ENTER/Return key, this will launch spectacle. Then copy what comes out, once you have reproduced the issue.
Spectacle opens through the terminal. I tried that before to find out, if something is missing.

I suspect https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/597 to fix this issue. This is part of Plasma 5.21 beta. But I would need confirmation. Does it happen when you use "current screen" option that is available when you have multiple screens active.
