This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is

bug.

This issue continues with Fedora 31 KDE Plasma under Wayland. Works fine under x11.

Operating System: Fedora 31
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.64.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2
Kernel Version: 5.4.8-200.fc31.x86_64
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz
Memory: 31.1 GiB of RAM

Same on newer fedora, with copr newer kde (without too) wayland

Operating System: Fedora 32
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.71.0
Qt Version: 5.14.2
Kernel Version: 5.6.19-300.fc32.x86_64
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 6 × AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1075T Processor
Memory: 7,8 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon ™ RX 460 Graphics

Reopening.  Problem occurs in current release.

According to upstream, this should be fixed with Spectacle 19.08. I am using a copr (zawertun/kde) to get newer versions of KDE stuff, which means I'm on Spectacle 20.04.3. On this version, I am able to take a rectangular area screenshot, it just works a little differently to how it does on X11.

I've noticed that you can take a screenshot but you have to fiddle with it to make it work.  When you first launch a message
appears in the top left corner of the screen:

Create screenshot with left click or enter
Escape or right click to cancel

The cursor is changed to a + selection cursor, but basically does nothing.

You then need to escape or right click to get the actual application to appear.  

Copy to Clipboard doesn't work, at least not with copyq.  Perhaps release 20 works better.  It's not here yet.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 33 development cycle.
Changing version to 33.

Fixed with Plasma 5.20.3; Spectacle 20.08.1
You need to adjust the Capture Mode, Delay in settings to be at least 1 second, otherwise
for capture of rectangular regions, you're likely to get the Spectacle window in your capture.
