Bug ID: 416790
Summary: Spectacle crashes KDE when rectangular region
selection fired twice
Product: Spectacle
Version: 17.12.3
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
Reporter: spectru...@gmail.com
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
May be related to 413361 and/or 412817.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have Meta+Shift+PrtScn set as global hotkey for capturing a rectangular
region with Spectacle.
2. Press Meta+Shift+PrtScn.
3. Do not select a region. Instead, press Meta+Shift+PrtScn again quickly.
I.e., press the shortcut twice in rapid succession without doing anything else
in between.
OBSERVED RESULT
KDE is frozen. I can select a region, but I can't get out of rectangle
selection mode. Enter does nothing, nor does Esc, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace,
Ctrl+Alt+Del or anything.
EXPECTED RESULT
I should be able to exit rectangle selection mode using Enter, Esc or a global
shortcut.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 18.04, 64-bit
KDE Plasma Version: 5.12.9
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.44.0
Qt Version: 5.9.5
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe the same thing happens if any application (perhaps any WINDOWED
application) starts up while Spectacle is in rectangle selection mode. I have a
number of applications that start up after login, but with a delay. If I launch
Spectacle before all my applications have launched, there is a high risk of
running into this crash bug.
