Created attachment 163026 [details] The rectangular screenshot regression bug SUMMARY *** Spectacle should hide it's main window when taking a screenshot of a rectangular area. What happens instead is the main spectacle window only disappears partially before I'm able to select the rectangular area for a screenshot. After taking the screenshot the main spectacle window appears semi transparent. This happens regardless of what desktop effects/themes I have enabled, the animation speed has not been changed either. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Press screenshot key to launch spectacle 2. Click rectangular region option 3. Notice how the main spectacle window doesn't hide itself properly when taking the partial screenshot OBSERVED RESULT Main spectacle window appears in the screenshot as a 'ghost' EXPECTED RESULT Main spectacle window should disappear and get out of the way before I 'm able to select the area for the screenshot. I shouldn't have to move the main spectacle window out of the way of whatever area I want to capture. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE tumbleweed 20231107 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION A screenshot has been attached. This appears to be a regression since I have not had this issue with previous versions of spectacle, apparently this issue should have been resolved in version 23.04 of spectacle according to bug ID 423435. I'm also using a radeon 5700xt gpu with the default MESA drivers with wayland.
Can reproduce on wayland, with faster than default animation speed, with no delay or with a delay of 1s. In a single monitor setup, this happens with the full screen screenshots. In a multi monitor setup, this happens with the current screen screenshots, and the all screen screenshots. Not 100% reproducible, but happens around 50% for me. Let me know if more information is needed!
Btw I am on KDE Frameworks 5.112.0, KDE Plasma Version 5.27.9, and spectacle 23.08.3
Can confirm this too. Same as you: in Wayland and with fully updated Plasma, Frameworks and Spectacle. However, in my case I can reproduce it no matter the delay I set. That is, the delay setting seems to be completely ignored. I can set a 5 second delay and the screenshot is still taken immediately, "catching" the spectacle window before it gets minimized. Is this not your case?
I just solved this by resetting my spectaclerc file (at ~/.config). Even after selecting all my previous options in the spectacle configuration menu, the spectaclerc file remains much smaller and with a lot fewer entries than the old one. So probably some old option, set in a previous version of spectacle, was messing with its behavior. Please check whether this works for you too, so we can close the bug.

Can confirm this fixes the issue for me on master.

I tried resetting my spectacle rc file but the issue still persists
For me, Spectacle also puts the end of the animation in images, only on the Wayland session. Will attach a screenshot. Probably related. Spectacle Version 23.08.3 Plasma Version 5.27.9 Frameworks 5.112.0 Kernel 6.6.2-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) GPU 8 × 11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1185G7 @ 3.00GHz

I also have a workaround as my presentation of the bug is more severe so I had to fix it at least for me. 1. Go to [Plugins]. 2. Set both `magiclampEnabled` and `kwin4_effect_squashEnabled` to `false`. 3. Restart kwin. I opened the debug console using: gdbus call --session --dest org.kde.KWin.HighlightWindow --object-path /KWin --method org.kde.KWin.showDebugConsole And I believe it is because some property is wrong, likely skipCloseAnimation.
