Description Northsoft 2024-10-23 11:53:27 UTC 
SUMMARY
I try to make a screenshot with some delay, but Spectacle ignores that setting

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle (eg. via Print Screen key)
2. Set a delay, eg. 5 secs
3. Hit a button to make a screenshot of a region or a window

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle shows eg. an option to cut a region immediately

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle should count down 5 seconds before I eg. switch to a wanted window and show what I need to snap

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we weren't able to look into it yet. A lot has changed since it was reported; can I ask you to see if this is still an issue with Plasma 6.5 or later? Thanks a lot!

With 6.5.2 on Arch for me it works as expected now.
