            Bug ID: 458831
           Summary: calling spectacle by shortcut only copies to clipboard
                    but does not show the spectacle window
           Product: Spectacle
           Version: 22.08.0
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: General
          Assignee: m...@baloneygeek.com
          Reporter: slartibar...@gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

- define some shortcuts for spectacle:
ctrl-shift-print: capture rectangular region
ctrl-meta-print: capture current/active window
ctrl-print: open spectacle

Expectation:
capturing the active window or region should also open the spectacle window
after successful capturing.
but, only the image gets saved to clipboard (and we are notified by the tray
with an info popup) and the spectacle main window is never shown

This happens only sometimes, if you opened the spectacle main window several
times it 'settled' and seems to work always after this.

But, after a fresh start of plasma (and no '/usr/bin/spectacle --dbus' running
in the background) you press the shortcut, get a copy in clipboard (and message
about it) and that's it.
Now, open spectacle main window, take some screenshots by operating the
buttons, then use shortcuts (only) again.

This also happens if you kill the background process `/usr/bin/spectacle
--dbus` 
Make shortcut-based screenshots, no spectacle main window appears
Open spectacle once (ctrl-print), close it by escape, then do shortcut-based
screenshots again and it works ok (like, it shows the spectacle window after
capturing)
