Summary: "An error occurred while taking a screenshot."

Product: Spectacle
Version First 6.4.2
Reported In:

SUMMARY
I'm seeing this error text when trying to take a screenshot today:
An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
KWin screenshot request failed:
The process is not authorized to take a screenshot
Potentially relevant information:
- Method: CaptureScreen
- Method specific arguments: "HDMI-A-1"
However, I don't think this is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=446628
since I don't have a second .desktop file in ~/.local.share/applications/ and I
have the X-KDE-DBUS-Restricted-Interfaces=org.kde.KWin.ScreenShot2 line in
/usr/share/applications/org.kde.spectacle.desktop that is mentioned in that
other ticket.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press print button
2. Spectacle opens but it shows above error text.
OBSERVED RESULT
Cannot take screenshot, spectacle shows above error. It worked yesterday. I may
have installed package updates since, but nothing major like the 6.3.x to 6.4.x
Plasma upgrade.
EXPECTED RESULT
Taking screenshot works.
