internal vs external screenshot

SUMMARY
Ever since updating my system to plasma 6 (and I has an update recently before), screenshots on my external screen is blurry. I can see my sharp picture, and then when I press "prntsc" it gets blurry, and that is what spectacle take a screenshot of.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect laptop to an external screen
2. Press prntsc
3. Select any square from what is shown on the external screen

OBSERVED RESULT
The below picture. Blurry


EXPECTED RESULT
The above picture. Sharp

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Arch linux
Plasma 6.0.1

Same here, Plasma 6.0.1

In my case the internal/laptop display is scaled (125%), while the external monitor is not, and the issue affects only windows on the UNSCALED/external display, while those screenshotted on the scaled/internal display are ok.

Comment 4 Andrea Ippolito 2024-03-18 08:30:29 UTC
I have added a screenshot VS photo comparison to show that what spectacle captures does not reflect reality of what I see on the screen (which is very crisp as shown by the attached macro shot).
