Thank you for trying this - successfully. When the update eventually gets done (core/updates_testing), which will be noted in this bug, please can you test it. We are unlikely to be able to because of the special hardware setup.
Assigning to the KDE team. Not sure whether UPSTREAM status is applicable, since the reporter was able to fix it himself.Assignee:

Hello, For your information is i launch spectacle after this : export QT_SELECT=qt5 The the behavior is far better... maybe you can try to see if it fixes things for you ? Maât CC:

maat-ml (In reply to Maat from comment #3) > export QT_SELECT=qt5 Same behavior with old version. New versions work ok. Yes i've seen that it did not work 100% for me either. An other try : disable VSYNC ( https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/k43ag1/screenshotscreen_capture_shows_cached_windows/ ) For that go to plasma setup -> choose compositor -> In tearing prevention (VSync) choose : Never Does it bring an improvement ? |
When trying to take a shot of a rectangular area of screen, wrong coordinates are selected if the monitor is not alligned multiscreen desktop Example screen distribution +------------------+ | | | top | +------------------+ HDMI | | | | | left |-------------+----+ | DP1 | | | | laptop | +------------------+ screen | | | +-------------+ Choose rectangular area capture Select from left monitor which is not aligned with others Result: wrong part of the screen is captured. It's only working ok when top and left monitors are aligned. Capturing in top and laptop monitors are ok. In previous versions of spectacle it worked ok. Reported to kde (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=436912) but I tried downloading and compiling spectacle 21.07 and the problem is solved in this version.
