Bug ID: 485629
Summary: [Wayland/Recording] Hangs when trying to finish a
recording for a window which has been closed mid
record
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.02.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: renatojr...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Spectacle will freeze when finishing the record for a window that has been
closed in the middle of the recording session. Only a force kill/terminate to
end it.
- No intermediate or partial files are produced in this case.
- It works fine recording a window without trying to reproduce this (i.e.:
don't close the window being recorded).
- No relevant logs are produced in either dmesg/klog or journalctl.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any window to be recorded (e.g: Dolphin) and Spectacle
2. On Spectacle, click "Recording" > "Window"
3. Pick the example window, Spectacle begins recording it.
4. Close the example window, Spectacle continues recording it.
5. On Spectacle, click "Finish recording".
OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle freezes. Needs to kill it forcefully.
EXPECTED RESULT
Not sure, but no locking up. Maybe it should automatically finish the recording
when the target window is closed; or keep producing blank frames to the stream
until finished?

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems there was issues about this already:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=469786
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=467593
But it persists on the versions above. Since it freezes without producing any
useful info, can't be sure if a Spectacle or KPipeWire issue, apologies if
reporting to the wrong product, despite previous bug seemed to be related to
KPipeWire.
