What mode are you using when you hit this issue? Just Rectangular Region? Or all of the modes? And what version of Plasma are you using?

screen-shot :)

That's how it looks, right when it starts.
Sorry for taking a picture of the screen. I can't make screenshots, lol :)
Comment 3 Mark 2021-04-28 08:28:51 UTC 
@Nate it happens in every mode :) It doesn't even start to make a selection.
Also, when the app starts, it immediately displays this error message. Attached is a screenshot

It's Plasma 5.21.4, running the most recent Kubuntu release 21.04, Wayland mode.
Comment 4 Nate Graham 2021-04-28 16:23:38 UTC 
Ah yeah this. :/

Should be fixed in Plasma 5.22. Sorry about that.
