Bug ID: 499018
Summary: When invoking rectangular region with a shortcut while
an autohide panel is active, the panel-side edge
lights up and the panel may get stuck unhidden
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle

OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED

SUMMARY
When spectacle is invoked with the shortcut for rectangular region (or launched
with MR !431 applied) while the mouse is at the screen edge where an
auto-hiding panel is (and consequently the panel is visible), the glow that
happens when the mouse is close to the panel still happens (at least once)
while the rectangular screenshot interface is visible. This is not the case if
the rectangular region screenshot is invoked while the mouse is far away from
the edge; moving it to the edge then while the rectangular region interface is
active does not cause the edge to glow. Under certain circumstances, this can
also lead to the panel becoming stuck unhidden, until the user mouses over the
panel again.
This reminds me a bit of bug 493171 where an auto-hide panel could also get
stuck while being activated under a full-screen effect. May be a kwin issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an auto-hiding bottom panel
2. Move the mouse to the bottom screen edge until the glow happens, then keep
the mouse still
3. Press Meta+Shift+Print, wait for the rectangular region screen shot to come
up, then move the mouse a little toward the screen edge. Notice the edge
glowing.
4. Still in rectangular region mode, move the mouse far away from that edge, to
the center of the screen
5. Press Escape to exit rectangular region mode. Notice the panel is unhidden
and does not automatically hide
6. Mouse over the stuck panel; when you move away, it hides again.
OBSERVED RESULT
Glowing edge and stuck panel
EXPECTED RESULT
Edge does not glow (similarly to how it does not glow when the panel was hidden
when invoking the screenshot), and panel always hides on its own.
