Bug ID: 496183
Summary: Spectacle preview is wrong while capturing rectangular
region
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.08.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: andrea.i...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
Imagine this, you have a window open, e.g. firefox and want to capture a
rectangular region from it, e.g. from coords 100,100 to 400,400, because that's
where the content you're interested in appears on the screen.
You fire up Spectacle, start a rectangular region screen capture, and at that
moment the entire window with the contents you wanted to capture SHIFTS by a
considerable amount.
Mind you, this shift only happens in the "preview"/frame freeze created by
spectacle for allowing you to draw your region. The window does not really move
from a window manager perspective.
This means that:
- capturing the area you intended to becomes a guess work
- as soon as the selection is captured, what you see goes back to normal
This is a recent regression, but I don't know exactly since which version (I
think it must've happened within the past month, not more).
I have a dual screen setup, will test if I can reproduce also with just the
internal screen enabled.
