Description James W 2025-06-19 18:37:56 UTC 
SUMMARY
When using spectacles rectangular region tool for snapshots you can select a region where there is enough space for the tool bar to appear above the region however it is possible to not leave enough room for the controls for each tool, making them non-usable

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open spectacle in rectangular region mode
2. select an area with enough space above the screenshot for the toolbar but with no additional space
3. open a tool such as highlighter

OBSERVED RESULT
Tool stroke controls extend beyond screen boundary making them unusable

EXPECTED RESULT
Tool controls should appear below tool bar to allow configuration

Can confirm. Related to Bug 68794 but not exactly the same, since it's reproducible even on a single screen.
