Created attachment 154483 [details] The actual effect Is a bit hard to describe accurately so I am attaching a photo I took with my phone. To reproduce this, you have to be on Wayland session, although I think it also happens with certain X11 workarounds to achieve a similar effect. To do that, you change the scaling factor away from 100%. In my case, it is on 70%. From what I understood here, the actual desktop is under that "photo" and you can actually snap a retangular region there and will be accurate, meaning that the smaller photo is only a bit misleading in this context. The way I expect this to be is that this small photo actually takes the whole screen instead of only part of it
Spectacle was largely rewritten for the 23.04 release, so the code governing this has changes sufficiently that it's possible the issue has been fixed, or worsened. I can't reproduce the issue with a multimonitor multi-scale setup on Wayland, so it does seem to be fixed, hopefully. Feel free to re-open this bug report if you find that it's not fixed for you once you upgrade to the 23.04 version in a few months.
This happened with the rewrite. It was actually after I read about the rewrite that I wanted to test it. I would have replied if it still happens on my end but spectacle is crashing on my end and I can't get a backtrace for some reson. DrKonqi doesn't launch with the crash and trying to backtrace with gdb also doesn't return anything. Guess I'll have to wait until the next KDE Gear is released
Created attachment 155457 [details] A photo showing what is happening I can confirm it is still happening in my case and it is the rewrite. Granted, it is the KDE Unstable Repos for Tumbleweed so I didn't compile it myself but the package version is as follows: 22.11.70git.20230119T021936~7d04f7c-ku.38.1 I think that means it was compiled and packaged yesterday (January 19th, 2023) with the 7d04f7c commit (I think). Same result as before.
OK, thanks!
Has there been any progress in figuring out or fixing this? I'm on the version 23.03.90 of Spectacle through KDE Repos for openSUSE and situation looks exactly the same?

I tried to test this on a setup using 2 monitors. One 1920x1080@1x screen, one 3840x2160@2x screen.

(In reply to Noah Davis from comment #9) > OK, it seem that the fractional scale factors are the cause, not the screen > layout. That makes sense. I use KWin Wayland fractional scaling on my laptop because the elements are too big on a 1366x768 resolution display. It's one of the reasons I moved away from X11. Hopefully this can be fixed before next release
Faced the same issue: X window system and two monitors with fractional (125%) scale.
This should be fixed in commit a85343658e25cc64d09d00b485c5855be9c7c57a now, which should be in the 23.04 release version.
Actually, I just remembered it's only partly fixed. I may have mistakenly thought 2 separate issues were one. This issue: There is a smaller image overlaid on top of the real image that shouldn't be there. The other issue that was actually fixed: Exports from multi-monitor setups with scaling had weird gaps between screens and wrong selected areas.
(In reply to Noah Davis from comment #15) > This issue: There is a smaller image overlaid on top of the real image that > shouldn't be there. I think I need to wake up. I misspoke, It's actually that the image isn't sized/positioned correctly, as Ryu and I said previously.

Yeah, this fix didn't come with 23.04.0, apparently. But I also couldn't test the fix itself to see if it is truly fixed on my end.
Right, the "Version fixed in" field says "23.04.1"

Thanks for the fix. Unfortunately the fix seems to not work for my monitor configuration. In my case the problem is still identical. - I am using spectacle 23.04.1-1 from the Archlinux repository. - My left monitor is 2560x1440px with a scaling factor of 150% - My center monitor is 3840x2160px with a scaling factor of 200% - The artifact can be seen on the center monitor as screenshotted in a duplicate bug report of me: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=468912
The issue is also still affecting me with Spectacle 23.04.1. My left-most display is 150% scaled, my other three displays are all unscaled 1080p displays. The issue I am experiencing is slightly different to the attachment on this issue, Bug 468785 has a screenshot (horizontal alignment is correct but vertical alignment is not). In my case as well, I have my displays with three along the bottom and one at the top in the center. This has caused numerous issues with Plasma (pretty much all of which have since been fixed fwiw) so I am mentioning it in case this may also be relevant.

Scaling down also does it, at least for my case. The way I did it was that I have a 1366x768 display on my laptop. It's the max resolution possible with it. Things look too large here so I set the scaling to 70%. It works and the elements are smaller. In fact, they look closer to how they would be if this were a 1920x1080 display. But then I get that Spectacle bug. Also no NVIDIA graphics here either. It's only an Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Unfortunately Plasma does not let me set my monitor to 1920x1080. Although xrandr lists it as a supported option. On Windows I can set the monitor to 1920x1080. There seems to be a EDID problem. But I tried other combinations: - Middle monitor always 3840x2160 at 200% - Left monitor at 2560x1440 at 100% --> ok - Left monitor at 2560x1440 at 125% --> ok - Left monitor at 2560x1440 at 150%, 175% and 200% --> all of them problematic - Left monitor at 1280x720 at 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% --> all of them problematic - Left monitor at 800x600 at 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% --> all of them problematic - Left monitor at 640x480 at 100%, 125%, 150%, 175% and 200% --> all of them problematic So right now it seems almost all combinations are broken and only some are working.

I was not able to test 1280x720 (screen just went black until the reset timer put the resolution back at the previous setting), but I could not reproduce the bug with 800x600 or 640x480 on my left screen. My right screen was still at 3840x2160 at 200%.
Created attachment 159006 [details] Spectacle scaling problem 800x600 at 150% I just took this picture. Spectacle version "spectacle 23.04.1-1" in the Arch repository. Left monitor with 800x600 at 150%. Right with 3840x2160 at 200%. As one can see the overlap of the screen differs with different resolutions and scaling factors.
Created attachment 159008 [details] 800x600@150%, 3840x2160@200% for ndavis This is how the same settings look for me.
Hmm. Weird. I have no idea why it is working on your machine. Some more info: I am using an AMD GPU. Connected via Display Port. Using the Mesa driver.

I am also using an AMD GPU (integrated Renoir) with the Mesa driver, but I am using HDMI for the right screen. I don't have a way to test DisplayPort with my laptop.
I have the same issue still with 23.04.2 on Arch Linux. Display is 4k skaled to 150% connected via Display Port. I am using wayland.
I have the same problem. I have the latest version of KDE and Spectacle: Operating System: Manjaro Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.107.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.3.8-4-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 8 × AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx Memory: 29.3 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Vega 8 Graphics Manufacturer: BESSTAR TECH LIMITED Product Name: UM350 Spectacle: 23.04.2 I have recorded a video to my Google Drive so that the problem can be seen. You can see it at the following link, it will be available until this bug is resolved: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oNMH3jLnxXK7ePg8glF6iXBGb4vmYca-/view?usp=sharing The display is using a resolution of 2560x1440 with a 90% of scaling. Observe how when Spectacle is going to capture a region of the screen, it is automatically rescaled producing a strange effect, and also what is captured is not what is seen on the rescaled screen, it is captured over 90%, not over the one that shown rescaled. Observe how the image captured in Spectacle does not correspond to the one that appears selected in the rescaled region on the screen. On the other hand, when you add annotations to the image, they are also added incorrectly, when you copy the image with the annotations and paste it somewhere else, it looks like the frame I added doesn't appear in the same position as it does in Spectacle .

Not sure if it's any help, but I'm also encountering this issue. It happens in any situation where the monitors are not in a multiple of 100% (ie 100, 200 are fine but 125% is not) for scaling. I have 2 monitors: 1 4k 60 Hz and 1 4k 120 Hz. Plasma version (wayland) is 5.27.6 Spectacle version is 23.04.3-1 (from arch repository) Nvidia gpu (driver version: 535.54.03-1 3080 Ti) Not sure what information would be useful to track down something like this.
I just installed the new version of Spectacle, 23.0.8, and although in the release notes it says that this bug is resolved, the same thing is still happening (I just tried with 95% scaling and the exact same error is still happening ). The bug is certainly not fixed.
I've been doing more testing on this bug, and I see that it occurs when the scaling percentage is less than 100%. If it's higher than 100%, it seems that Spectacle captures well, but if it's lower than 100% it produces the effect that you can see in the following video that I re-recorded with the latest version of Spectacle (23.08.0) , where you can see again the bug that I mention: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FJ2aGCJcmKC8p7RMaKtD0md6IxRHQl6d/view?usp=drivesdk
> it occurs when the scaling percentage is less than 100%. If it's higher than 100%, it seems that Spectacle captures well FWIW I have this bug with both monitors set to 125% scaling.
(In reply to Ilya Bizyaev from comment #45) > FWIW I have this bug with both monitors set to 125% scaling. I just tested with 125% and for me, with the new version 23.08.0, it works fine. As I say, the problem happens to me when the scaling percentage is less than 100%.
The bug appears to be gone for me. I have my leftmost monitor at 110%, middle at 150%, and the rightmost at 125%. I haven't marked this solved as some people are still having this bug.

Altamush, please, can you try with a scaling less than 100%, for example 95% or 90% and let me know if it works for you? Please note if capturing the screen gives you a strange scaling effect (it happens as if part of the screen is automatically rescaled with another percentage).
Let's get a new bug report to track the issue with < 100% scaling, since that will have a different root cause.
OK, if anyone is interested, the new bug that has been created for when using Spectacle with fractional scaling less than 100% is 473888.
(In reply to Chema from comment #50) > OK, if anyone is interested, the new bug that has been created for when > using Spectacle with fractional scaling less than 100% is 473888. That is strange. It's the bug I originally reported here because I'm having issues when scaling is less than 100%, not more. I set it to less because my current laptop top resolution is 1366x768, so things wind up too large.
> That is strange. It's the bug I originally reported here because I'm having > issues when scaling is less than 100%, not more. I set it to less because my > current laptop top resolution is 1366x768, so things wind up too large. The truth is that, indeed, the example that you mentioned and that opened this bug, was with a percentage less than 100%. Therefore, effectively, to be concise, this bug was not solved in the last update, therefore it should be reopened indicating that it has failed and the one that I opened a few days ago at Nate's indication should be closed since it would be duplicated with this one. But whatever Nage says, whatever he thinks is best for this bug to be solved once and for all, because we've been dealing with it for I don't know how many months... What I think has happened is that the developers have made a bit of a mess with the bug because many other people wrote in it that they had problems when the scaling was greater than 100%. I think that as seen in the comments of the bug, it affected both percentages lower and higher than 100%. So effectively with version 23.08.0 it has been solved for percentages greater than 100%, but it remains for the lower ones...
Can confirm this issue still exists as of 23.04.3 I have two 1920x1080p screens to the LEFT of my main 4k monitor and this issue persists. If I put my 4K monitor at position 0,0, the visual bug disappears, but now it is out of sync with the physical location of my displays.
Greater than 100% fractional scaling should now be fixed on git master. Less than 100% fractional scaling currently still has issues.

Git commit 8df6051d8df630ee45c8c1f0e97124c518bec51f by Noah Davis. Committed on 14/09/2023 at 06:59. Pushed by ndavis into branch 'master'. Fix rectangle screenshots with less than 100% UI scale Fixes it by just doing a normal all screens grab instead of trying to get an image for each screen and then trying to position and scale them all correctly for the given platform. This should also be a bit more efficient. Also lays some of the ground work for rectangle video recording by making SelectionEditor send a rectangle and export actions instead of an image and export actions.

Hi, I'm still facing this issue on 23.08.1 with X11 and scaling set to 125%. I have two 2560x1440 monitors and one 3840x2160. Setting the scaling to 100% fixes the issue, but is not an option for me, since text is too small.
As the "Version Fixed In" field says, this will be fixed in version 24.02.0.
