empty clipbaord entry made by spectacle

SUMMARY

Initial screen capture not copied to clipboard, klipper has an empty entry, manual copy by user then copy the image into clipboard. Pasting the empty image leads to non content pasted at all.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Capture screenshot
2. Screencapture will be created (app says it was copied to clipboard)
3. Clipboard empty no image in clip board, user clicks copy again in Spectacle and this time it will be copied

OBSERVED RESULT
Clipboard empty at initial (auto)copy 

EXPECTED RESULT
Image in clipboard without the need to click copy again by user

Unable to repro this.

Can you share the exact steps you use to take a screenshot, like shortcuts?

Also, can you share your Spectacle settings.
