Description Nate Graham 2023-03-28 17:39:44 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be in a Wayland session
2. Reduce the global animation speed in System Settings > Quick Settings page > Animation speed slider
3. Launch Spectacle
4. With Spectacle's main window open, take a rectangular region or full screen screenshot


OBSERVED RESULT
The main window fades out, but does not fade out fast enough to avoid a ghostly transparent version of it appearing in the screenshot


EXPECTED RESULT
The screenshot is taken only once the main window's close animation has finished playing


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can be worked around by using the standard animation duration or a faster one, or by setting any delay value. Even a 0.1 second delay is enough for me.

Blacklist Spectacle for all window open/close effects

Spectacle needs to be blacklisted in order to stay out of its own
screenshots.
