Bug ID: 488025
Summary: Highlighter tool uses solid color instead of
highlighting
Classification: Applications
Product: Spectacle
Version: 24.04.80
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: General
Assignee: noaha...@gmail.com
Reporter: spikespie...@gmx.de
CC: k...@david-redondo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In 23.08.05 on Kubuntu 24.04, the highlighter tool works as expected: changing
the color from how it was before, but leaving enough of the original visible,
similar to how a highlighter would work on paper.
In 24.04.70 on KDE neon developer edition (the precise version is not available
in the version selection above, so I chose the closest), this no longer works:
the tool now draws solid color and does not leave anything of the original
visible.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Spectacle while the screen contains a window with black text on a white
background
2. Click edit in the toolbar, and select the highlighter tool
3. Pick a word, click-and-hold at its beginning and move the pointer to the end
of the word before releasing
OBSERVED RESULT
The selected word (or at least parts of it) is no longer visible, replaced by a
line of solid color matching the color selected for the highlighter tool.
EXPECTED RESULT
The word is still visible, only the white background has changed to a
background matching the highlighter color.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
I have confirmed this in current Neon developer edition, running Wayland, with
Spectacle 24.04.70. It does not apply with Spctacle 23.08.05 in Kubuntu 24.04
using Wayland or Xorg. /u/Hojita2k who originally reported this on reddit
(https://redd.it/8h92nf) says the wrong behavior also applies in 24.05, but I
have not independently verified this.
