SUMMARY If I take a screenshot with spectacle, go to the annotation menu, and then press "Print Screen", the new screenshot taken in that print screen will be lost. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press "Print screen" to trigger spectacle. 2. In the spectacle window, click "annotate" (button in the bottom panel). 3. Press "Print screen" again. 4. Select some rectangle area and press Enter. OBSERVED RESULT New screenshot is lost. EXPECTED RESULT Should open a **new** spectacle window to deal with the new screenshot.

By default, the Print Screen button takes a new screenshot, overwriting the current one. If you want it to open a new window instead, there's an option for this in the settings window.

If I configure it like that, the new window will not pop-up with a screenshot of the screen at the moment it was taken.
That seems like a bug; please submit a new bug report for it.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > That seems like a bug; please submit a new bug report for it. I opened a new bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458713 But in any event, this is **still** a bug under the default configuration: it says "While Spectacle is running" -> "Press screenshot key to:" -> "Take a new Screenshot". In this case, if I press the screenshot key, it doesn't take a new screenshot like it would do if the annotation toolbox was closed.
Oh, my mistake, sorry. I was misreading the original bug report. I can reproduce the issue with the upcoming 23.04 version too. I'll re-title the bug to be specific to what happens in the 23.04 version, since the 22.12 version won't be getting any more bugfixes and the code for is is substantially different (23.04 has a major rewrite of the app).

Don't close all windows if activated by DBus with GUI and no CLI options No options and having a GUI is a heuristic for activating Spectacle via the PrintScreen key. Maybe we can find a better way to determine this later, but I'm trying to keep up with the release schedule for now.
