Markdown of the workaround claude took to fix the bug
SUMMARY
I have my pc connected via USB-4 to a dock which has a monitor. I'm not using
the monitor and so I have it disabled in KDE. However, apparently, KDE still
lists that monitor first at the (0,0) location so when spectacle tries to open,
it opens on a disabled monitor and crashes.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach to dock with monitor
2. Disable monitor on dock
3. Try to take a screenshot on normally connected monitor (no dock)
4. Spectacle opens in the background, tries to take the screenshot (memory
increases), but fails to open any sort of gui.
OBSERVED RESULT
Spectacle crashes when invoked via screenshort or krunner.
EXPECTED RESULT
Screenshot overlay
