A Screenshot of the Error in the Initial Spectacle GUI
SUMMARY
I am unable to capture screenshots using "Active Window" mode for the Plasma
shell desktop under very specific circumstances:
1. When the *initial* Spectacle GUI is used, so not the one that displays an
image. In this case, the key bindings continue to operate.
2. I'm attempting to capture a screenshot of Krita's loading window, whether
via the initial or preview-based GUIs. In *that* case, "Select Window" works,
but the key bindings do not.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
The more comprehensive reproduction steps are aforementioned. The
undermentioned are very specific steps to reproduce one of the two problems:
1. Invoke "spectacle --new-instance" (twice).
2. Hide all windows, except that which is for the desktop.
3. Select the desktop.
4. Select Spectacle's GUI.
5. Select "Active Window".
OBSERVED RESULT
I am unable to capture the screenshot. Instead, I see the undermentioned:
> An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
> KWin screenshot request failed:
> Invalid window requested
> Potentially relevant information:
> - Method: CaptureActiveWindow
> - Method specific arguments: QMap(("include-decoration", QVariant(bool,
> true))("include-shadow", QVariant(bool, false))("native-resolution",
> QVariant(bool, true)))
EXPECTED RESULT
I should always be able to capture the focused window in "Active Window" mode.
