Bug ID: 401647
Summary: Launching twice makes it hard to exit
Product: Spectacle
Version: 18.08.3
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: a...@popey.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I often take screenshots of a region with Shift-PrtSc. Usually it works fine.
Thanks, I love Spectacle.
However, it seems to get wedged if I launch it twice. I realise I probably
shouldn't do this, but sometimes it takes a second or two for the dialog to
appear, and I don't know if I have pressed Shift-PrtSc correctly, so press
again. I end up in a situation where I can't exit nor take screenshots. Like
the two screenshot tools are fighting for ownership of my keypresses. I have to
drop to a tty and kill the spectacle process to get control of the desktop
back.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Ensure Shift-PrtSc is bound to launching Spectacle and taking a region
screenshot
2. Press Shift-PrtSc twice
3. Press Escape, or select an are and press enter
OBSERVED RESULT
No screenshots are taken
It's not possible to exit Spectacle
EXPECTED RESULT
Either:
One instance of spectacle runs and prevents me launching a second screenshot.
or
Two instances launch enabling me to take a screenshot of the spectacle process,
where keypresses go to the most recent spectacle instance.
