Description of problem: When launching Spectacle, if you try to take a screen shot it closes itself down. Relaunching goes straight to screenshot mode and you can take a screen shot. A third one does not work and you have to launch again. And so on. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20.12.0-2.1.mga8 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch spectacle 2. Click Take a Screenshot. Program closes down 3. Launch spectacle. Program immediately goes into taking a screenshot mode. Screenshot grabbed 4.Click take a screenshot. Spectacle closes. 5. Relaunch spectacle. Immediately in screenshot more. 6. etc etc
Please start spectacle from console and post the error logs here. Please add also additional needed informations: - Desktop environment in use (Plasma assumed) - Which mode do you use (full screen, active window, window under cursor, rectancle,...) - do you have time delay activated -> it's completely normal that the main window closes until the screenshot is taken Can't reproduce this on any of my machines (all Plasma 64bit).
Source RPM: spectacle => spectacle-20.12.0-2.1.mga8.src.rpm
Hi, Yes, it's Plasma desktop on a latest gen Intel i5. I use it on no delay and am taking a rectangular region. If I start from konsole, I get no messages at all on the console window. The spectacle window disappears and the only way to get to back is CTL-C to shut down the running program. If I then relaunch I'm back into the spectacle window and clicking "Take A New Screenshot" makes the window disappear again. If I run: spectacle & It closes down, but opening a second instance of spectacle from the command line enables me to take a screenshot! At this point, every time I re-run spectacle from the command line it immediately takes a new screenshot and clicking on the Take A New Screenshot button closes it down. If I do this after clicking on the button: [robertw@localhost ~]$ ps -ef | grep spectacle robertw 13660 12772 2 10:26 pts/5 00:00:01 spectacle robertw 13789 12772 0 10:27 pts/5 00:00:00 grep --color spectacle You can see there is one instance of Spectacle running, but nothing is in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Summary: Spectacle on;y actually takes a screen shot after being launched and even number of times => Spectacle only actually takes a screen shot after being launched an even number of times
Do you use Wayland by any chance?

There is an upstream report for spectacle 20.12.3 under Ubuntu with the same behaviour. No solution yet. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443398
[robertw@localhost ~]$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE x11 So, no. Although, for some reason, there seems to be a lot of Wayland stuff when I go into mcc installed software.
OK, if it's upstream I guess all we can do is wait. Thanks. :)
Nothing seem to be happening upstream... :/ Please if you want to make a difference: add your experience to that bug, and refer to this Mageia bug. Maybe that will add both more debug data, and incentive.
