Hello. Whenever I use spectacle to copy a rectangular region of the screen, I experience the following issues:
- sometimes spectacle will not copy the image to the clipboard.
- sometimes spectacle will crash kwin-wayland. I’ve noticed the following lines in
journalctlright after spectacle takes a screenshot:
kernel: traps: kwin_wayland[97548] general protection fault ip:7f277b3d015b sp:7ffc6267fa60 error:0 in libQt6Core.so.6.10.1[1d015b,7f277b291000+3e7000]

Sometimes I can even retrieve the screenshot after kwin starts back up.
