Not without breaking our Wayland protocol support. There is a guarantee that all pointer events are delivered while an application has the focus. Imagine you click a second button while taking the screenshot and release it afterwards. Then the application gets a button release event for a button it never got the press event. That is a clear violation of Wayland protocol and I would understand any program which asserts under this condition. We must send a leave event when we take over the mouse pointer. > > > > This is also not really a difference to X11.

So that KWin does not have to take the pointer focus, but just screenshots after the 2 second timer. This would require changes in spectacle and the dbus protocol. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
