Description Eamonn Rea 2025-02-21 19:11:41 UTC
SUMMARY
Spectacle shows a hand cursor when over a draggable Rectangle Region. As a minor UI tweak, it could change to show the "closed hand" cursor when said region is being dragged.

I am not sure if this is documented in or goes against any KDE Human Interface Guidelines, it was just behaviour I observed from other applications and noticed that Spectacle does not do this.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a Rectangle Region when taking a screenshot/screencast.
2. Drag this region.
3. The cursor does not change when the region is being dragged.

OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle shows an "open hand" cursor when a Rectangle Region is being dragged.

EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle could show a "closed hand" cursor while a Rectangle Region is being dragged.

It's actually supposed to do that already and did for a while, but it seems that something about dragging is a bit broken on Wayland.

Can reproduce this one with today's git master.
