SUMMARY While taking a screenshot with the rectangular area function, the area is not gray transparent with as before, its just 100% transparent, without borders, so only the different cursor state are an indicator where the edges are. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. select rectangular area (in my german version "Rechteckiger Bereich") 2. try to select specific area OBSERVED RESULT The selection area is completely transparent, without visible borders. EXPECTED RESULT The selection area is half transparent, with visible borders. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Windowsystem: xcb
I cannot reproduce this. Can you post a screenshot?
You can take a screenshot of spectacle by running spectacle in the terminal with the `-i` or `--new-instance` option.
i tested on another device. Usually the whole screen went half transparent, the selection area had a blue border and was fully transparent. On my desktop the whole screen stayed as it is and the blue border of the selection area is not visible. So making a screenshot of something which is not there, make no sense imo.
