SUMMARY Today I was trying to take screenshots of my desktop's looks to share it with friend, but I was not able to take screenshots of the opened applications, as well as the application launcher and hidden icon collection, as Spectacle was only taking screenshot of the desktop only, and minimizing all the other tasks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set the capture mode to "Rectangular Region" 2. Press the keybindings or PrtSc Key. 3. Open any application, but don't maximize them. 4. The resulted screenshot is of desktop only. 5. Tried the other capture modes, but still the same result. OBSERVED RESULT Screenshot of desktop only. EXPECTED RESULT Screenshot of all opened instances on desktop, including the elements like application launcher, tray icon's info page, etc. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: CachyOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 Compositor: X11 Kernel: 6.3.0-5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm having a hard time following your steps to reproduce. Could you rephrase them, or else take a video that shows the issue happening? Thanks!

Yes, it does need some rephrasing !! Actually issue is something like that spectacle is saving up the first screenshot temporarily, even though no content is pasted on clipboard.
Sorry @NateGraham Uploading video was not possible as it was 6.11 MB. So I am sharing a link on which I had uploaded the video. The website says that it will expire after 6 days. https://easyupload.io/jjzv29
Looks like some kind of weird graphics glitch, maybe? The fact that the overlay shows different content from what's on the screen is quite weird.

Yes, this is what I wanted to show. It seems that the first screenshot is saved somewhere temporarily, despite the image is not saved in clipboard. I need to make 4-5 attempts in order to get the intended screenshot.
I'm unable to reproduce this. Is this still a problem with Spectacle 23.08 and 24.01.80 (24.02 beta)?
