Bug ID: 527399
Summary: Non-interactive Screenshot portal request triggers
launch feedback (bouncing cursor)
Classification: Plasma
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version First 6.6.6
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Other
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In a Plasma Wayland session, run:
gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop \
--object-path /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop \
--method org.freedesktop.portal.Screenshot.Screenshot "" "{'interactive':
<false>}"
OBSERVED RESULT
The screenshot is taken and saved correctly, but:
- the cursor shows launch feedback (bouncing icon) for 3-4 seconds;
- a temporary "Portal" entry appears in the Task Manager for several seconds,
as if an application were being launched. No application is actually launched.
The only journal entry from xdg-desktop-portal-kde is "take non interactive".
EXPECTED RESULT
A non-interactive screenshot is taken silently, without any launch feedback
or Task Manager entry.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Very noticeable with time-tracking apps (e.g. Hubstaff) that take
non-interactive screenshots periodically: the launch feedback appears every
few minutes for no visible reason. Disabling launch feedback globally hides it,
but also disables it for real application launches.
