--- Comment #7 from Michal Kec (MiK) <k...@kecnet.cz> ---
I can confirm reported behavior with KDE Neon 5.20, thus I can provide further
details. I believe you only need to meet two conditions to reproduce the bug:

1. In systray settings set the item Clipboard (Klipper) as "disabled". (See
reporters note in comment #4)
2. Terminate the spectacle process after taking the screenshot. It can be
either spontaneous (by running on background with -b parameter), or intentional
by closing the app window.

Typically in Linux/X Window system the content of the clipboard exist as long
as the parent process (Spectacle in this case) lives. By running Spectacle on
background you have only few seconds - then the process vanishes and the
clipboard content as well.
The Clipboard systray widget somehow steals (copies and caches) the Spectacle's
clipboard content and preserve it within. However if you don't want to have
clipboard history and disable this widget, well... you have no clipboard
history.

Hopefully there's a workaround for users scared by clipboard history. 
1. Set the Clipboard systray widget as "hidden". (Disappears from systray and
move to "Hidden icons" menu.)
2. Configure Klipper and set "Save clipboard contents on exit" as false and
"Clipboard history size" as "1".
