qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

This means your window tried to grab focus in the compositor, which is not allowed in wayland. Don't create a bug for it, there's nothing we can do.

here my logs:

dar@pc3:~$ flameshot
Using Wayland-EGL
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

I have no clue about C++, but may it be a decision in borrowing some code from
https://wayland.emersion.fr/
Select region
https://github.com/emersion/slurp
Grab image
https://github.com/emersion/grim

But this would work only for wlroots based WM

Ok, all wayland support progress seems goes here #446

A possible workaround for this issue
qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()
Execute the python script using xcb platform
For example:
python test.py -platform xcb

@manos-mark thank you for reply!
Is this workaround for devs or users? As a user I don't see how I could implement this...
