OBSERVED RESULT

SUMMARY
The Spectacle settings window is super special and does not like having pictures taken of it. :/

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle
2. Configure Spectacle...
3. Hit Capture Active Window shortcut (Meta+Print by default on my computer)

OBSERVED RESULT
Picture of Spectacle settings with a black bar around it instead of nice shadows.

EXPECTED RESULT
Picture of Spectacle settings with nice shadows around it.

Moved to KWin since the image comes from KWin's screenshot effect
Comment 3 Vlad Zahorodnii 2025-02-17 14:20:52 UTC
I cannot reproduce the issue
Comment 4 Noah Davis 2025-02-18 13:21:48 UTC
I cannot reproduce this either.
Comment 5 Vlad Zahorodnii 2025-02-18 13:48:43 UTC
This seems like a driver bug. Kwin doesn't create screenshot images without an alpha channel, and it also clears the alpha channel before capturing the window.

That's unfortunate. Thanks for your time. \o/
