Bug ID: 431613
Summary: When calling Rectangular Region screenshot via a
global shortcut, the mouse pointer will freeze and may
appear in screenshot unintentionally
Product: Spectacle
Version: 20.12.0
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: i...@dinospuren.de
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the settings of Spectacle and define a global shortcut for "Capture
Rectangular Region". In my case, the shortcut is Meta+R
2. Turn off the option "Include mouse pointer"
3. Quit Spectacle. You may see the desktop or another window.
4. Make sure the mouse pointer is visible on the screen, and hit the shortcut
(in my case Meta+R). Now the mouse pointer immediately freezes at its current
position, and a new (second) "grabby hand" mouse pointer appears to adjust the
rectangular region for the screenshot.
5. Make sure the rectangular region includes the frozen mouse pointer. Hit
"Enter" to do the screenshot.
OBSERVED RESULT
The frozen mouse pointer appears in the screenshot, although the "include mouse
pointer" option is still unchecked.
EXPECTED RESULT
Once the "grabby hand" mouse pointer of Spectacle appears, the original mouse
pointer should disappear rather than freeze in place. No mouse pointer should
be visible in the screenshot.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:
KDE Frameworks Version:
Qt Version:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
However, when I repeat above steps with the "Include mouse pointer" option
checked, the mouse pointer still freezes, and I only see the frozen one but not
the actual active mouse pointer. The option "Include mouse pointer" has no
effect in this situation.
