Bug ID: 495899
Summary: When using "Dim Inactive" effect, taking selection
screenshots becomes unusable
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 6.2.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: effects-various
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: eduardosare...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When "Dim Inactive" effect is active and working, we are not able to correctly
take "rectangular selection" screenshots anymore, as they capture the dimmed
part. The moment you click the keyboard key to take a screenshot, your current
window/app becomes unfocused, making itself dim, and the screenshot is taken
after this dim happens, so the screenshot captures it dimmed. Depending on the
intensity of the dim effect (configured in settings), this can make any
screenshots completely unusable.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn on dim effect, set it to a strong level (to see the problem more
clearly)
2. Go to any app, click your keyboard key/shortcut to take a screenshot (using
spectacle for example)
3. The app/thing you were trying to screenshot gets unfocused and dimmed, and
spectacle captures a dimmed image.
OBSERVED RESULT
Dimmed/dark/black screenshot, depending on the intensity of the effect.
EXPECTED RESULT
Dim effect should not be applied when taking a screenshot, or the app that the
spectacle is taking the screenshot should not lose focus while taking the
screenshot.
