https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #5 from Colin --- I don't know why this would make a difference, but I am running the "Active Window Control" widget on the Plasma panel. Just a hunch, maybe try running that and see if you can reproduce this issue

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #3 from Boudhayan Gupta --- This is strange, because I can't reproduce the issue. Are you trying to take a shot of a Qt4 application? The other thing I could ask you to try is to take a shot with the mouse cursor over

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #4 from Colin --- I'm taking a shot of whatever it is that runs when you try to change wallpaper. Right-click desktop->Desktop Settings (Alt+D,Alt+S) I just tried moving the mouse pointer to one of the entries and

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #2 from Colin --- (In reply to Boudhayan Gupta from comment #1) > You'll want to use Window Under Cursor for this, not Active Window. I just tried that, and got the same failed result. -- You are receiving this

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #13 from Boudhayan Gupta --- Getting the extents of the window and doing a manual crop would work if the cursor was over the menu widget button (since technically that's part of the parent window) but not if the cursor

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #6 from Boudhayan Gupta --- I can reproduce this. The KCM is written in QtQuick; it seems like QtQuick pop-ups don't correctly set WM_TRANSIENT_FOR to point to the parent window, leading to the parent window being the

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #9 from Boudhayan Gupta --- It won't show up on Active Window because Active Window is a very specific mode (in Linux, pop-up menus are separate (undecorated) windows in their own right). It does appear on Full Screen

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #11 from Colin --- Why not just use the window geometry to define the area to be captured and then capture everything in that area? Surely that's what's expected, not that it will capture the active window without

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #12 from Colin --- I had hacked together some bash scripts to record parts of the screen with ffmpeg and needed to get the (x,y) coordinates and also the w x h of the active window. Here is that bash code from

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357223 --- Comment #8 from Colin --- I'm not sure that the Wallpaper plugin is the same as KCM. I just tried to capture the drop down menu on System Settings :: Application Style :: Widget Style, and it succeeded in capturing the popup
