SUMMARY
With Spectacle 21.08.2 in Wayland, I can capture the window under cursor via the GUI but cannot do so in background mode. 

spectacle -bn -u -o $HOME/Pictures/"$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)".jpg does nothing (bound to Meta+Ctrl+U).

spectacle -bn -r -o $HOME/Pictures/"$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)".jpg works (bound to Meta+Ctrl+R).

spectacle -bn -f -o $HOME/Pictures/"$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)".jpg works (bound to Meta+Ctrl+F).

spectacle -bn -d 10000 -o $HOME/Pictures/"$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)".jpg works (bound to Meta+Ctrl+D).


EXPECTED RESULT
Using "-u" should work in background mode. Or maybe "spectacle --help" should be modified to indicate which options won't work in Wayland.

Can confirm.
Comment 2 Méven Car 2021-11-15 09:59:02 UTC 
This one reports the issue for the command line case but the bug origin is the same as the other.
