Bug ID: 501884
Summary: Capturing a rectangular region over an xwvayland app
makes it impossible to copy to the clipboard
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 6.3.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Using the "Capture Rectangular Region" over an xwayland app such as game in my
case, makes it so spectacle doesn't copy the image properly into the clipboard,
as an extra note, what is strange is that using meta + v to see the clipboard
history, the captured images are present, however they cannot be pasted in any
other software, like krita, discord, or anywhere else.
Other capture methods such as "Capture Active window" or "Capture entire
desktop" work perfectly fine, only "Capture Rectangular Region" has that
behavhior.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a xwayland window open (a game as an example)
2. Use the shortcut to trigger "Capture Rectangular Region"
3. Try to copy / paste the image in any software that supports pasting images.
OBSERVED RESULT
The captured images cannot be pasted anywhere.
EXPECTED RESULT
The captured images should paste just like any other capture methods.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This bug used to be inconsistant in the past, sometimes it happened, sometimes
it didn't, recently it started just, not working at all (sorry i did not take
note of the KDE updates that completely broke it, as i simply got used to
dealing with the bug by just capturing the entire window/saving the image and
uploading it instead)
