i get reproduce the visuals glitches(the screen look likes it zoomed for a millisecond and them go back to normal) but my screenshots look right, and i can reproduce the visual glitches both with the lid open or closed Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.5.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.10.6-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics Memory: 7,1 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics Manufacturer: LENOVO Product Name: 82MF System Version: IdeaPad 3 15ALC6

The visual glitch is not fleeting for me. It lasts as long as the selection tool is running. See the first picture. There is only a konsole window on the screen. It is duplicated partially in a narrow band in the middle of the screen. The rectangular selection has icons from that window in it. But the actual screenshot is completely black, probably corresponding to the black konsole window content beneath the glitch.
Seems to work in 6.3.
