            Bug ID: 490353
           Summary: Region screenshot results in image bigger and blurrier
                    than reality (Wayland, multimonitor, fractional
                    scaling)
    Classification: Applications
           Product: Spectacle
           Version: 24.05.2
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: General
          Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

When capturing a rectangular region with Spectacle, the resulting image is
blurry and bigger than reality as if it had been scaled up.

I have a laptop (secondary) and an external monitor (primary), with display
resolutions and scaling % as follows:
laptop display 2256x1504@120%
external monitor 2560x1440@100% -> this is where the capture happens

The problem is visible as soon as you open the captured screenshot (for example
in Gwenview) and although it's shown at its original size (100%), it's bigger
than the real content. The only explanation is that spectacle actually produces
a scaled up capture of that region of the screen.

You can refer to the attachment here to see what I mean:
