Bug ID: 434758
Summary: Spectacle crash with keyboard shortcut, thumbnail.so
hangs and the DE seems to restart.
Product: Spectacle
Version: 20.12.3
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: katiejan...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Spectacle sometimes crashes (and the entire DE along with it, though it
restarts shortly) after taking a full-screen "instant" screenshot.
Using the Meta+Print keyboard shortcut to "Capture Entire Desktop" action.
Previously Meta+Print was assigned to "Capture Active Window", but would still
crash.
[[Additionally, I've had problems with Dolphin showing/hiding the Hidden Files
when I open the Desktop folder, though that bug seems to be only visual and
doesn't crash. This is my first time using KDE and Manjaro. Should I just
switch to another distro, or another DE, or hope for a fix soon? I was hoping
it'd be a stable and easy to use system as I was told, but I've sadly run into
problems already. I'm sorry.]]
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Meta+Print keyboard shortcut.
2. Repeat until crash if necessary (has always been < 5 times)
OBSERVED RESULT
DE crashes, taskbar goes down then back up, KSysGuard shows a thumbnail.so
process (one per each crash) hanging using the maximum amount of CPU that it
can.
EXPECTED RESULT
Fullscreen screenshot gets saved without much fuss, my OCD for screenshots
calms down momentarily, CPU core doesn't max out, keyboard shortcut continues
working.
