ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I tried other screenshot programs from pamac appstore after this issue started
happening. Gnome screenshot is not working either. But "Flameshot" works as
expected.
As mentioned here (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/5785), I looked
into org.kde.spectacle.desktop file. It already contained
"X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.kwin.Screenshot,org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2"
line which they tell us to add. So, I don't think it's the problem.

If so, > does the problem go away if you terminate it and then try again? Tried running spectacle as the first thing after boot up - same result. System monitor / htop do not show any left over processes after closing spectacle. Tried closing/re-opening spectacle multiple times - same result. Tried, `pkill -9 spectacle ; spectacle` - same result. This issue appeared about 5 days ago. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Now Spectacle is working properly. Thank you very much guys. For more info : Spectacle was the only KDE app inside ~/.local/share/applications ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop was similar to /usr/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop apart from the following diffs > diff ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop > /usr/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop 1d0 <- # converted by firecfg 29c28 <- GenericName[pl]=Narzędzie do przechwytywania ekranu --- -> GenericName[pl]=Narzędzie do zrzutów ekranu 45c44 <- GenericName[zh_CN]=屏幕截取工具 --- -> GenericName[zh_CN]=屏幕截图工具 113c112 <- Comment[pl]=Narzędzie do przechwytywania ekranu --- -> Comment[pl]=Narzędzie do zrzutów ekranu 124c123 <- Comment[zh_CN]=屏幕截取工具 --- -> Comment[zh_CN]=屏幕截图工具 158c157 <- Keywords[ta]=snapshot;capture;print;screenshot;snipping;snip;திரைப்பிடிப்பு,படமெடு;அச்சு;அச்சிடு;வெட்டு;திரைப்படம்;படம்;பதிவு; --- -> Keywords[ta]=snapshot;capture;print;screenshot;snipping;snip;திரைப்பிடிப்பு;படமெடு;அச்சு;அச்சிடு;வெட்டு;திரைப்படம்;படம்;பதிவு; 163c162 <- Exec=spectacle --- -> Exec=/usr/bin/spectacle 200c199 <- Name[pl]=Przechwyć cały pulpit --- -> Name[pl]=Zrzuć cały pulpit 218c217 <- Exec=spectacle org.kde.Spectacle / FullScreen false --- -> Exec=/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.Spectacle / FullScreen false 247c246 <- Name[pl]=Przechwyć bieżący monitor --- -> Name[pl]=Zrzuć bieżący monitor 265c264 <- Exec=spectacle org.kde.Spectacle / CurrentScreen false --- -> Exec=/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.Spectacle / CurrentScreen false 294c293 <- Name[pl]=Przechwyć aktywne okno --- -> Name[pl]=Zrzuć bieżące okno 312c311 <- Exec=spectacle org.kde.Spectacle / ActiveWindow true false --- -> Exec=/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.Spectacle / ActiveWindow true false 341c340 <- Name[pl]=Przechwyć obszar prostokątny --- -> Name[pl]=Zrzuć obszar prostokątny 359c358 <- Exec=spectacle org.kde.Spectacle / RectangularRegion true --- -> Exec=/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.Spectacle / RectangularRegion true 382c381 <- Name[pl]=Przechwyć okno pod wskaźnikiem --- -> Name[pl]=Zrzuć okno pod wskaźnikiem 394c393 <- Exec=spectacle org.kde.Spectacle / WindowUnderCursor true false --- -> Exec=/usr/bin/qdbus org.kde.Spectacle / WindowUnderCursor true false So, the one inside ~/.local/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop was clearly from another version of kde and started with `# converted by firecfg` I installed firejail a few weeks back, but I didn't use it for spectacle or any kde related apps. How could that happen? Spectacle was working fine before. (In reply to Paul Worrall from comment #5) > and does your have the > config line given in that comment? Yes, both have the same line `X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.kwin.Screenshot,org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2` Again, now my issue is fixed and thanks for making the world a better place ❤️ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
