Bug ID: 495216
Summary: Spectacle is capturing itself during screenshots.
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
After the last update, Spectacle was capturing its own window in the Wayland
session. The log included this message:
QVariantAnimation::setDuration: cannot set a negative duration
It seems that in the SpectacleCore::takeNewScreenshot function, the timeout
variable was set to -1 and passed to the
m_delayAnimation->setDuration(timeout); function, causing the issue. I went to
the configuration file and removed the "captureOnClick" option. After that,
everything worked fine.
[GuiConfig]
captureOnClick=true
quitAfterSaveCopyExport=true
Simple check like:
if (timeout < 0) {
timeout = 0;
}
Also resolves the issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update ArchLinux to the last version
2. Open Spectacle
3. Do, for example, fullscreen screenshot
OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle is not hiding while taking a screenshot and appears in the
screenshot.
EXPECTED RESULT
Spectacle should not appear in the screenshot.
