Description EpicTux123 2025-06-19 16:12:10 UTC 
After Spectacle update in 6.4.0 version, opening the options menu "New Screenshot" or "New Recording" makes the cursor in the capture screen not as smooth. I can't quite say what is going on, but it doesn't feel as snappy as when the config menu is closed.

This also happens when taking screenshots too, not just when using the config sub-menus.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2025-06-19 20:50:27 UTC 
Can confirm; opening either of these menus seems to drop the effective refresh rate. I'm using a 120z screen, and while the menus are open, cursor movements feel like they're down to 60hz or less.
Comment 3 Noah Davis 2025-06-20 04:46:32 UTC 
Unfortunately, I do not have a screen with more than 60Hz, so I do not see any drop in smoothness.
