Created attachment 158311 [details] Example I updated to Kde Gear 23.04 yesterday and I really like the new spectacle, but I noticed a problem: when I take a screenshot with the rectangular region and capture an area of the screen near the bottom of the screen, the annotations go below the screen Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 Graphics Platform: X11
Cannot reproduce with a single screen; the toolbars switch positions and move to be above the region, rather than below it. Can reproduce with a dual-screen setup where the screens don't share a baseline.

This bug currently affects my current setup where both monitors don't share a baseline. I've included a video and screenshots on my KDE Forum post: https://discuss.kde.org/t/unexpected-capture-rectangular-region-behaviour-near-the-bottom-of-the-screen
(In reply to contact from comment #4) > I've included a video and screenshots on my KDE Forum post: Thanks for that! I have been on the CC list for this bug, but just read in that thread that it is good to post if you have the problem, so I'm posting. I have a 1080p and a 1440p monitor, and whether they share the same upper or lower coordinates (so, even with the same baseline), I still see this bug. It appears to be that spectacle is selecting a toolbar position based on the desktop geometry rather than the display geometry, and consequently selects a location which is visible to the desktop but not the display.
Apologies, I neglected to mention - I hope maybe it might help the devs to know that I see similar bugs elsewhere in KDE, for example in Kate's Recent Documents list (if you let it be long enough, it draws off-screen, but on-desktop). I've not had the opportunity to file any of these but I thought it might help track things down, if I mention that I don't see this exclusively in Spectacle. This may just be a coincidence, or maybe there's shared code, I can't say. Just letting you know :)
My bad, I *do* have that Kate bug logged: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485770 I can't be certain it's directly related, but... they sure act the same. Firefox's 'All Tabs List' does this, too, but since it's not a KDE app I'm less inclined to draw a parallel... stranger things have happened, though.
This not only applies to the baseline but also the vertical bounds (e.g. small laptop display at the bottom and a larger display above it)
This is still happening on KDE 6.2/Spectacle 24.08.2 (on Arch). I have 3 QHD screens side by side, one of them in portrait/vertical rotation. The controls are always placed correctly on the vertical monitor, on the other monitors they are placed of screen if my selection box reaches the lower-edge of the screen.
