***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. On settings, "after capturing an image", check the box to "save file to default folder"
2. Press print screen button on keyboard
3. Press print screen button on keyboard again

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle gives a message that it was unable to save the screenshot.

EXPECTED RESULT
Before when using X11 every time I pressed the keyboard button or any other command to save a screenshot it would just work and screenshots would be saved in succession. On Wayland don't, Spectacle can't automatically save a screenshot when it's already open. And if I insist to test more how this bug happens, for example, to make this bug report, as always the system starts to get crazy! Options on Spectacle are being selected on super fast fashion making me unable to control, this page on the browser keeps dancing up and down a bit, if I click on the scrollbar of this text box it gets stuck, I need to click outside this text box and scroll with the keyboard arrows.
Probably just another Wayland bug.

Can confirm. Seems like the bug here is Spectacle not quitting properly, and staying open in the background when it shouldn't.

This bug seems to be fixed.
