Created attachment 183728 [details] Spectacle settings SUMMARY While having the setting "Show capture instructions" unchecked and taking a rectangular screenshot, the tooltip giving instructions on how to take a screenshot is still present. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Disable 'Show capture instructions' in Spectacle configuration 2. Launch the rectangular screenshot tool OBSERVED RESULT Tooltip is still present EXPECTED RESULT Tooltip should not be present when 'Show capture instructions' is unchecked SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Arch Linux Kernel Version: 6.15.8-arch1-2 (64-bit) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.16.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I confirm this on Spectacle 6.4.3 on Plasma built from git-master.
Oops, we actually removed the giant instructional text box, but I guess we forgot to remove the UI to toggle it on or off.

Could you clarify which text box you're talking about? Because as of 6.4.5.1 I am still seeing a textbox in the middle of the screen when capturing a region that says "Click and drag to make a selection" I assumed that the checkbox mentioned in the bug was for that specific textbox, perhaps I was mistaken?

Remove unused "show capture instructions" option Spectacle used to have a giant instructional text box in the Rectangular Region UI. That was removed in Plasma 6.4, but the UI option to toggle it remained, and now does nothing. Rather than applying this UI option to the new very small "Click and drag to make a section" label, just delete it.
