[Wayland KDE] Flameshot doesn't capture full desktop w/ multi-monitor

[Riven-Spell]

Flameshot Version

Flameshot v12.1.0
Compiled with Qt 5.15.5

Installation Type

User repository (AUR)

Operating System type and version

Arch Linux (Linux aetherflow 6.1.7-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 18 Jan 2023 19:54:38 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

Description

Flameshot seems to not realize my second monitor exists, while still taking a picture of it. Ctrl+A'ing the screenshot only gets what's shown on my ultrawide.

My setup is a 16:9 1080p monitor on the left-hand side of a 21:9 1080p monitor.

Moving the left monitor to be right of the ultrawide in software allows me to be able to take a proper screenshot on the ultrawide, but still the length is limited to just the ultrawide.

Setting the other monitor as the primary does not affect the position of flameshot or the size of pictures it takes; it just continues to display on the ultrawide.

Steps to reproduce

1. Run flameshot gui on a multi-monitor KDE Wayland setup

Profit.

Screenshots or screen recordings

System Information

1. Arch Linux (Linux aetherflow 6.1.7-arch1-1 Flameshot freezes when try to save the screenshot to file #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed, 18 Jan 2023 19:54:38 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux)

3. KDE/kwin/Wayland

Can confirm I'm having the exact same issue here, also running Arch with Zen kernel, KDE and Wayland.
Monitor setup:

Same behavior on Fedora. When triggering Flameshot, a capture of both of my displays is shifted across to my "primary" display, rather than staying on the screen that its coming from. Additionally, I can still interact with my secondary display while the screenshot mode is active. Flameshot also takes significantly longer to launch on Wayland than it does on X. When pressing my shortcut on X, Flameshot triggers almost immediately. When running Wayland, it takes between 3 and 7 seconds to start. Spectacle seems not to have any issues with this (but I prefer using Flameshot).

I'm installing Flameshot from the default Fedora repos:

I believe this is a duplicate of #2364

Similar problem with 2 external monitors. Green good, yellow black bar, red not in capture area.
I think it happened after updating from Windows 10 to Windows 11 although it might happened later after update I'm not sure, noticed just today, maybe some update messed it up
V12.1.0, V12.0

This problem seems to be investigated in #2364, i work my way around it launching flameshot from flatpak with the environment variable "QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb", to set it i use Flatseal and configure it in "Environment", this however causes the keyboard to not function, only mouse control.

I also have a familiar issue on KDE plasma wayland, I can take a screenshot on the primary screen while there are two exist. Besides, I can only save the picture but can't copy it to my clipper board.

Version information is:

Flameshot v12.1.0 ()
Compiled with Qt 5.11.3
linux: 5.19.0-46-generic
ubuntu: 22.04

Same with KDE plasma. Multiple monitors and one of the monitors is rotated.

I was able to work around this issue by forcing the window geometry

Thanks a lot @Lightfire228 this works perfectly :)

[tdjustus]

The workaround provided by @Lightfire228 works, although Flameshot does feel more sluggish in KDE than GNOME.

[Seraphli]

Restart flameshot works for me.

@Lightfire228 worked for me in Archlinux. Although "Ignore requested geometry" has been renamed to "Obey geometry restrictions". So you have to mark the opposite option:

Just another confirmation. Window rules perfectly fixes it. Thank you @Lightfire228
