[Bug 2081296] [NEW] specacle w rectangular region displaces sceen and captured image

[Frans Klip]

Public bug reported:

Taking a screenshot of a rectangular region with KDE-Spectacle on my recently installed (not upgraded) Ubuntu Studio 24.04 LTS with a dual monitor setup results in a screenshot with a horizontal displacement, loosing about 3 cm at the left of the intended screen area (and a similar sized unwanted area on the right side).<br/>
Some testing indicates the problable cause: setting the display zoom factor: in Settings - Display and Monitor - Display Configuration I changed the Global Scale from the default 100% and set up 2 ticks to 112,5%.<br/>
Restore the default 100% and after log-off/on the rectanglular area screenshot is as normal again.
Other types of screenshort are not affected, the Active Window screenshot is namal also with the scale set.<br/><br/>
Seems to be and old problem back again, found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-spectacle/+bug/1773246 indicating the same problem (the scaling mentioned in the messages) in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.<br/>On my previos Ubuntu version 22.04 LTS I havn't noticed it, and on my other laptop system still with Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS the problem does not appear.
