STEPS TO REPRODUCE AND OBSERVED RESULT 1. Use key-binds and/or the “Active window” mode. This results in nothing occurring – the keys are not captured. 1. Use a delay or the full-screen mode. The menu is not captured. EXPECTED RESULT Spectacle should capture the context menu.

This is a known limitation of X11 that all screen shot apps face. Even Windows has this problem. It appears to be fixed on Wayland. There's not really anything that can be done about this on our end. The way to work around this is to set up a capture delay, start the capture, open the menu and then wait for the capture to happen.

(In reply to beedell.rokejulianlockhart from comment #2) > I reported this *because* it doesn't work on Wayland. It would be ideal if you could include important details like that in the bug report description. Can you provide other details such as what modes you tried and detailed instructions on how to reproduce the bug? The instructions in the bug description aren't clear. By the way, I just posted another bug report about taking screenshots using Window Under Cursor mode on Wayland (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=470341). Is this the same bug or a different bug?
