Spectacle is stuck in one window

Well, I did that. But the problem persists. I didn’t take that screenshot of the KDE website. It just appeared.

Is there another os or desktop environment installed on this system?

Yes, OpenSuse Tumbleweed with KDE Plasma (post #5). Spectacle works very well there.

As I said before. Add a new user and have a look if the problem persists.
Alternatively rename the folder ~/.config to /.config.old and have a look if the issue is resolved.
Preferably log out before renaming the folder. If the issue is resolved, just copy your needed configs from /.config.old to /.config

I see you have Intel Iris Graphics. What does inxi -Ga show?

Edit: Maybe try system settings compositor vsync off

$ inxi -Ga

With system settings compositor vsync off

It looks like it’s loading the correct modules for the Intel Iris. Does the vsync off make any difference?

Also did you try as @Trekkie00 suggested adding another user and then boot up to that new user and see and also his alternative suggestion?

Yes, to no avail.

Are you sharing a home partition with fedora and EndeavourOS?

No, I don’t.
I have OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE, not Fedora.

Sorry then opensuse and endeavour

I’ve been reading the KDE web site, and the Arch forums too. Can’t find a solution for this. I need a screenshot sometimes for work, and as GIMP is doing the job, I can forget Spectacle. Usually the hand goes to the key to invoke screenshot, and that’s the problem. I might as well uninstall Spectacle to get used to not having it. But, what I worry is, maybe there’s some problem with EOS KDE. So, I informed.

Since it only seems to impact you, that seems unlikely.

Have you tried creating a new user and testing there as suggested above?

Retun:

inxi -Fxxxza --no-host

sudo parted -l That is the letter l not a #1

I use EndeavourOS KDE and it’s never happened to me. Not seen any issues about this.

Yes, I did. To no avail. Spectacle gets stuck. Installed Flameshot too, and that too has the same problem.

Did you use sudo parted -l? This output looks different?

Edit: Okay i guess it’s the same. It just looks so weird outside the terminal. :upside_down_face:

Now return:

sudo lsblk -o name,mountpoint,label,size,uuid
