Bug ID: 490244
Summary: Spectacle breaks KWin in X11 when selecting >2s of
delay
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.05.2
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: juc...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Screen freezes when taking a delayed screenshot with Spectacle from the
floating panel.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle.
2. Take a screenshot using the "Rectangular region" option.
3. In the floating panel that appears after the initial screenshot, go to
Options and set the delay to 2 seconds.
4. In the floating panel, initiate the screenshot.
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen freezes, but the system remains completely functional.
As a workaround, a terminal can be opened with the systemctl --user restart
plasma-kwin_x11.service command to restart KWin and resolve the freeze.
EXPECTED RESULT
The screenshot should be taken after the 2-second delay without causing the
screen to freeze.
