That's unfortunate. It seems like it's not on Flathub either, but I suppose you
could try our Nightly flatpak repo (https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials/Flatpak,
has unreleased versions). The alternative is to compile it from source or use a
debian repo or distro with the new version.

Unless you can get a crash, no.

We can't do much about Debian's package versions.

We've seen bug reports about this in the past, but unfortunately the bug
reports are all useless because they don't have enough info and the reporters
don't know enough about what's going on to post useful info. This issue could
be caused by a large number of things, some of which may not even technically
be Spectacle bugs. It's kind of our fault for telling people to post a bug
report in the GUI itself without providing more info to the user in the first
place. The new version no longer tells people to post bug reports like that.
