Bug ID: 451394
Summary: In Wayland session screenshots in Slack do not
generate preview
Product: Spectacle
Version: 21.12.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux

Severity: normal

Screenshot showing the failed preview in Slack
SUMMARY
Using a Wayland-plasma session screenshots taken in Spectacle and put on
clipboard can be pasted in a Slack converstation but Slack fails to generate a
preview and shows the paste as an attached file (which quite defeats the point
of sharing the screenshot).
When I save the screenshot to file, open it in Gwenview and copy-paste to
Slack, the preview is generated.
This also works in normal X11 session. Slack is running in XWayland, but both
Spectacle and Gwenview are native Wayland applications.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Slack desktop client from Slack repository
(https://packagecloud.io/slacktechnologies/slack/debian/ jessie main)
2. Start Plasma Wayland session
3. Press prnt-scrn to start Spectacle and create screenshot
4. Press "Copy Image to Clipboard"
5. Press Ctrl-V in a Slack conversation
OBSERVED RESULT
The image is pasted as an attachment instead of preview, and misses the preview
in the conversation.
EXPECTED RESULT
The image pasted as a previewable image inline in the conversation.
