The rectangular screenshot regression bug
SUMMARY
***
Spectacle should hide it's main window when taking a screenshot of a
rectangular area. What happens instead is the main spectacle window only
disappears partially before I'm able to select the rectangular area for a
screenshot. After taking the screenshot the main spectacle window appears semi
transparent. This happens regardless of what desktop effects/themes I have
enabled, the animation speed has not been changed either.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press screenshot key to launch spectacle
2. Click rectangular region option
3. Notice how the main spectacle window doesn't hide itself properly when
taking the partial screenshot
OBSERVED RESULT
Main spectacle window appears in the screenshot as a 'ghost'
EXPECTED RESULT
Main spectacle window should disappear and get out of the way before I 'm able
to select the area for the screenshot. I shouldn't have to move the main
spectacle window out of the way of whatever area I want to capture.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
openSUSE tumbleweed 20231107
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.111.0
Qt Version: 5.15.11
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A screenshot has been attached. This appears to be a regression since I have
not had this issue with previous versions of spectacle, apparently this issue
should have been resolved in version 23.04 of spectacle according to bug ID
423435. I'm also using a radeon 5700xt gpu with the default MESA drivers with
wayland.
