Spectacle crashes when using Current Screenshot option on external monitor

Help
1

I can take a “Current Screenshot” on my laptop screen, but Spectcle just goes away when trying to use Current Screenshot on external monitor. Other screenshot options work fine on external monitor.

Error from logs.
4/25/24 6:48 AM spectacle Screenshot request failed: “Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.”

This is 485352 – ScreenShot2 CaptureScreen DBus timeout on X11, which will be fixed in Plasma 6.0.5.
