Description misterx42 2024-01-05 17:35:42 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to take a screenshot with Flameshot, either thru the task bar or the application menu itself 
2. Nothing happens, application throws an error

OBSERVED RESULT
Trying to take a screenshot with Flameshot always results in a following error:
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

Trying to use the "Open Launcher" option from the taskbar and then take a screenshot results in a slightly different error:
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
flameshot: error: Unable to capture screen
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

EXPECTED RESULT
Flameshot takes a screenshot as usual on Plasma 5.
