Bug ID: 506298
Summary: Spectacle Screenshots freeze the screen and result in
an error
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On a three-monitor setup, using the spectacle app via the print screen button
causes one screen to freeze (darkened with a bubble that says "Click and drag
to make a selection."), with no screen capture UI showing up, indability to
escape this function, and an error message to show up on another screen (as
below).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hit Print Screen to run Spectacle's screen clipping. That's about it.
OBSERVED RESULT
On a three-monitor setup, using the spectacle app via the print screen button
causes one screen to freeze (darkened with a bubble that says "Click and drag
to make a selection.") - on that screen, the cursor can move, but no windows
can be placed on the screen. Most of the time, the screen capture interface
does not show up, and clicking around, hitting escape, or hitting enter results
in nothing (rarely it does, seemingly at random).
On another screen, an error report pops up and reads:
An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
KWin screenshot request failed:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Potentially relevant information:
- Method: CaptureScreen
- Method specific arguments: "DP-4"
Clicking OK on this popup, and then hitting print screen again, may return the
screens to their base form without spectacle's alterations.
EXPECTED RESULT
The normal screen dimming, spectacle UI of drawing a box around the screen
clipping section, and immediate return to normal display function should occur.
