SUMMARY I have a bit same issue to the bug 416970 here. On Manjaro + KDE Plasma (Spectacle 20.12.2) it doesn't copy image to clipboard if spectacle's GUI didn't open. It can still save image to folder, but can't copy to clipboard Tested with Plasma shortcuts (with enabled "Copy image to clipboard"), tested with commands like `spectacle -cb` or `spectacle -rcb`, in both variants it doesn't copy image until GUI is open. Actually it started work this way when I disabled notifications for spectacle in Plasma. This bug is very critical for my usability because I use copying screenshots to clipboard very often and it really offends me when spectacle's GUI opened :( On previous versions everything seams to be okay STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Disable notification for spectacle??? 2. Close spectacle's GUI 3. Do screenshot with command or shortcut in Plasma (with copying to clipboard) OBSERVED RESULT Image was copied to clipboard EXPECTED RESULT Nothing good happens SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Manjaro 20.2.1, Linux 5.10.15-1 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Spectacle version is 20.12.2
Same here on KDE NEON
Was this with Wayland ? If so, this is expected at the moment.

To fix this we need our dbus daemon to use the same sort of HACK as https://github.com/bugaevc/wl-clipboard/blob/master/src/wl-copy.c
