Screenshot showing the stuck overlay and save dialog behavior.
### SUMMARY
Spectacle freezes after selecting "Save As" during area screenshot. The
selected screenshot region stays on screen, a file save dialog appears behind
it, and the application becomes completely unresponsive. It cannot be closed or
interacted with in any way (Esc, Alt+F4 do not work). Additionally, on a
multi-monitor setup, the selected area is also shown on the second screen (see
screenshot 2).
### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press the hotkey to activate "Rectangular Region" screenshot in Spectacle
2. Select an area on the screen
3. Click the "Save As" button
4. Observe the application state
### OBSERVED RESULT
- The selected region overlay stays visible and doesn't disappear
- A file save dialog appears **behind** the overlay
- Spectacle becomes completely unresponsive
- Cannot be closed with Esc, Alt+F4, or any interaction
- On multi-monitor setups, the selected region is also duplicated on the second
screen
### EXPECTED RESULT
- Selected region overlay should disappear after clicking "Save As"
- File save dialog should appear normally and be interactable
- Application should remain responsive
