SUMMARY With Rectangular Region, No Delay, and "On Click" *deselected*, "Take a New Screenshot" causes the Spectacle window to go away and gives me my regular cursor, with no way that I can see to tell Spectacle to actually take the screenshot. I can tell from the console that it is still running in the background, waiting for something that can never happen. If I select Alt-F2 and run spectacle again, the same problem happens and I get a second instance of spectacle running according to "ps -ef | grep spectacle" Discussion here https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/na0zpo/ksnip_has_me_looking/ STEPS TO REPRODUCE - Described in the summary. Note that - Full Screen capture area works fine with any combination of Delay and "On Click" selected or not - Rectangular Region works fine with No Delay and "On Click" *selected* EXPECTED RESULT Spectacle should pin the corner of the capture area upon first click of the mouse and go from there. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS ArchLinux X.Windows KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.85.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Used same settings, can't reproduce. Have you udpated KDE to 5.23.2 and Spectacle to 21.08.2? Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 5.14.15-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11
(In reply to Antonio Prcela from comment #1) > Used same settings, can't reproduce. > Have you udpated KDE to 5.23.2 and Spectacle to 21.08.2? Yes. I am running Spectacle 21.08.02 on Frameworks 5.87.0 and KDE 5.23.3. But your question got me to experiment some more. The setting that cause the problem for me are: - Area: Rectangular Region - Delay: No Delay - On Click: Not Selected - Include Mouse Pointer: Not Selected - Quit after manual Dave or Copy: Not Selected BUT if I change the Delay - Delay: 1 second Then it works perfectly after the expected delay!
Can't reproduce unfortunately. I'm on Wayland, if that makes a difference.

It indeed appears to be an X-only problem.
I see this was reported for version 21.08. A rewrite of the UI happened for version 23.04 and I can't reproduce this. Here's what I tried on X11: 1. Launch Spectacle from Kickoff (Application Launcher). 2. Set No Delay, uncheck "Capture on click" 3. Do a Rectangular Region screenshot The UI for taking a rectangular screenshot appears, I am able to make a selection and confirming the selection captures the selected region. Since this was reported for an older version, I'm marking this as fixed, but it can be reopened if it's still a problem for 23.04/git master.

I will test this out myself when Arch updates to 23.04 (at 22.12 RN).
