Bug ID: 509706
Summary: Cannot capture Plasma panel tooltips (pop-ups, hover
effects, etc.)
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version First 6.4.5
Reported In:
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Spectacle doesn't seem to be able to capture tooltip-like popups that show when
hovering over items in Plasma panels. For example, the text "Application
Launcher, Launcher to start applications" when hovering over the launcher icon,
window previews when hovering over taskbat icons, or text like "Battery at X%,
h:mm remaining" etc. when hovering over the battery icon.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run Spectacle
2. Configure to have a delay before taking a screenshot, e.g. 5 seconds
3. Initiate a fullscreen or rectangular selection screenshot
4. Before the countdown finishes, hover the mouse over one of the elements
mentioned above, e.g. the Launcher icon
5. Observe that the text "Application Launcher, Launcher to start applications"
does appear on screen
6. Wait for the countdown to finish
OBSERVED RESULT
The text "Application Launcher, Launcher to start applications" disappears
before the screenshot is taken. The text does not appear in the screenshot.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text "Application Launcher, Launcher to start applications" stays on the
screen and appears in the screenshot.
