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.
