From Rik
Using the arrow/line/text annotation tool in spectacle result in a black
box background instead of the intended shadow, resulting in the
annotation tool being unusable in most cases.
From the KDE bug report:
"As it turns out, we made a mistake in KQuickImageEditor's
CMakeLists.txt file. We forgot to put REQUIRED in the part that searches
for OpenCV. If OpenCV is already installed in the build environment,
then it will be used, but distros often don't put packages into their
build environments unless they're required. If OpenCV is not available,
there is a message about how not using OpenCV will make the blur worse.
I suppose Debian packagers didn't see that or didn't think it was
important enough to build with OpenCV when we didn't mark it as
required."
Fixed in Debian by adding opencv build dependencies.
