Bug ID: 359554
Summary: Wrong screen region captured when capturing a window
on i3
Product: Spectacle
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: nicolas...@live.fr
I'm using spectacle with the i3 window manager, and in some circumstances the
region captured is incorrect. It's possible that this problem stems from i3 not
setting properly the window properties. However I don't remember having this
issue with KSnapshot, and other snapshot tools with similar functionalities
produce the expected result.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use i3wm
2. Set a window floating (away from the top left corner of the screen), or in
an vertical split, not on the left hand side of the screen.
3. Start spectacle and select windows under cursor
4. Take a screenshot of the floating window or a window on the right hand side
of a vertical split.
Actual Results:
Spectacles captures a region that appears to be of the right size, but instead
of it being the window clicked on, it is a region starting on the top left
corner of the screen.
Expected Results:
Actually take a screenshot of the window that was clicked on.
A few examples demonstrating the issue:
First setup, trying to capture a dialog window:

Second setup, trying to capture a window on a right hand side of a vertical
split:

Third setup, slightly more complicated splits:

- Screenshot obtained by clicking on the terminal on the bottom right:

In this third case, clicking on the two other windows produces the expected
result.
