--- Comment #23 from TraceyC <[email protected]> ---
Thanks for testing with Wayland, and sorry we couldn't follow up until now.

This should not have been marked CONFIRMED yet. We use that status for when a
bug has been reproduced by one of the bug triagers or developers, or has enough
duplicates that we have high confidence it can be reproduced by a developer.

I can reproduce this on Plasma built from git-master, and Firefox, using the
steps in Comment 13 as well as with 
file:///tmp/kdeconnect.daemon-mWsnSw/1766621425735.PNG

When the image is copied, I see a brief cpu spike, in top, from WebExtensions
(from Firefox's addons). The system load also increases slightly and then drops
off after the image is copied to the clipboard. The hang is very brief,
probably because this is a newer system with good hardware. Additionally, in
the flamegraph that's attached, the "jank" section shows Firefox as the parent
process causing it. Part of it is the graphics image decoding, happening within
the browser.

>From these observations, and from prior conclusions that the hang doesn't
happen with other screenshot methods such as the one built into Firefox, my
strong suspicion is that the addon is simply not optimized. It's consuming
system resources more than it would if it was coded better, and that likely is
what caused the brief system hang. I recommend contacting the developer of the
Nimbus addon so they can investigate further.

There's not likely anything KDE can do unless it can be proven that KDE code is
causing the issue.
