           Summary: Plasma 6 Screenshotting, (Shift-PrtScr) in Wayland

Flatseal X11 screenshot

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Login to Plasma 6 (Wayland) session
2. Open a window, (in my case, I opened Flatseal, which is a GTK/Gnome app)
3. Press Shift-PrtScreen to take a picture of the desktop

OBSERVED RESULT
Opened auto-saved png file, (in Pictures directory) and saw that the image
captured is just random distorted colors and not an image of the desktop at
all.

EXPECTED RESULT
Expected to see a regular png screenshot of my desktop



SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.240.0
Qt Version: 6.5.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Two images attached - of the Flatseal application, (taken in X11) that I was
trying to take an image of, and of what was actually saved via screenshotting
in Plasma, (for the latter, the Flatseal application was just the center of the
screen, since I couldn't at all identify it in the Wayland screenshot to cut it
out to entirely correlate with the X11 version)
