Bug ID: 407216 Summary: Plasmashell crashes when screenshot taken in Spectacle of active window larger than 1 monitor Product: plasmashell Version: 5.12.7 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Desktop Containment Assignee: se...@kde.org Reporter: dan...@protonmail.com CC: plasma-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY Plasmashell crashes when a screenshot is taken in Spectacle when Spectacle is set to take a screenshot of the active window and that window is larger than 1 monitor on a multi-monitor NVidia proprietary-driver Ubuntu 18.04 + KDE system. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406339 is similar but not the same (they report their bug in Neon Packages and not Ubuntu, also they have a different method of taking the screenshots). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Stretch a Mozilla Firefox window across two screens (one above the other), leaving it as the active window. 2. Press Print Screen to bring up Spectacle. 3. Set Spectacle to take a screenshot of the active window. 4. Left click on the active window with your mouse. OBSERVED RESULT Plasmashell crashes, such that window borders are gone and windows do not become active by being clicked on. Windows can also no longer be moved around, maximised, minimised or restored. Music continues to play if it is on at the time, but one cannot access any window which was in the background or minimised or on a different workspace. Using kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell produces a new instance of plasmashell except all the previous windows are listed on the taskbar but refuse to restore or maximise, they are therefore still inaccessible. A reboot is the only way to get them back. EXPECTED RESULT A screenshot would be taken of the active window and Plasmashell would continue operating as normal. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: N/A macOS: N/A Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0 Qt Version: 5.9.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Tried upgrading the Linux kernel from 4.20 to 5.0.12, same problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
