--- Comment #6 from Eamonn Rea <eamonn...@protonmail.com> ---
I don't believe this bug is a duplicate of the listed bug, as my problem still
persists. My issue is specific to region screenshots.
With Spectacle 24.05.0, this issue now also applies when taking region
screenshots on a scaled display. They are always scaled up too much.
The quality is also significantly worse now, with ugly sharpening that makes
everything look too sharp as well as giving a strange off-colour artifacting
when there is contrast (there is an artifacting border around white text on a
black background for example).
Again, this is not cross-display region selects. This is a region select on a
single display, and for some reason they cannot look the same as single-display
screenshots.
If I take an "Entire Desktop" screenshot (across all displays), there are
numerous problems:
- The scaled display exhibits the same problem as Region Screenshot.
- The non-scaled displays are fine, but their resolution is wrong (cropping a
section of the screenshot on a 1920x1080 display shows that the display is
rendered as 3840x2160). However they look crisp and fine, although the
resolution is wrong and thus balloons the filesize
To emphasise, screenshots look normal if any other screenshot type that is not
Rectangular Region or Entire Desktop is used. I can take a Current Monitor
screenshot of either my scaled or non-scaled displays, and then crop them down
and it works fine (this is my current workaround that I've been living with
since Plasma 6). But I cannot do the following:
- Take a Region Screenshot on a Scaled Display (not *across* displays, just a
small region on the display)
- The resolution is wrong
- It is blurry
- Take a Region Screenshot on a Non-Scaled display
- The resolution is wrong
- It is overly-sharpened
- Take an "Entire Desktop" screenshot
- The resolution is wrong
- The content on the scaled display has the same problem as the Region
Screenshot
- The non-scaled displays' content looks fine, but it is the wrong
resolution (3840x2160, up from 1920x1080 -- 3840p is the native resolution of
the scaled display)
Spectacle worked absolutely fine in Plasma 5.27, it has only been with Plasma 6
that there have been immense difficulties taking screenshots. Why can
screenshots not be captured at the native resolution of the display?
