Bug ID: 372409
Summary: Background for Rectangular Region Interferes with
Region Selection
Product: Spectacle
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: drankina...@suddenlinkmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Version 16.08.3 - Sorry For Any Inconvenience
KDE Frameworks 5.27.0
Qt 5.7.0 (built against 5.7.0)
The xcb windowing system
When capturing a rectangular region Spectacle shades the screen obscuring the
details needed to mark the start and end of the desired capture region.
Changing the preferences, unselecting [ ] Use light background color, does not
remove the shading, but makes the shading dark making it virtually impossible
to see the screen at all on laptops.
There should be a way to completely disable this shading entirely as it makes
it more difficult in many cases to select the desired rectangular region.
ksnapshot worked perfectly without any shading allowing you to accurately
capture the region of interest. The shading makes it impossible to determine
where to start/stop a region when attempting to avoid parts of gradients,
etc... forcing yet another import into gimp to clean up what should have been a
simple screen grab.
I would include a screenshot showing the problem, but since spectacle can't
even run a multiple instance -- that is impossible too. (frustrating, when
ksnapshot had none of these issues)
