flameshot aborts screenshots when switching tools from text

[karlyeurl]

Flameshot Version

$ flameshot --version
Flameshot v11.0.0 (-)
Compiled with Qt 5.15.2

Installation Type

Linux, MacOS, or Windows Package manager (apt, pacman, eopkg, choco, brew, ...)

Operating System type and version

Linux

Description

When running flameshot gui and selecting an area, if we are writing text with the text tool, switching tools causes flameshot to abort and a notification to pop: "Flameshot Info Screenshot Aborted".

This does not happen if we deselect the text tool first.

I believe this is a bug, as it was not happening in the prior version of flameshot.

Steps to reproduce

1. run flameshot gui
2. select an area
3. select the text tool
4. click in the area and start writing text
5. without unselecting the text tool, pick another tool (I used the "circle" paint tool, but most other tools trigger this too)
6. flameshot gui exits with return code 0, a system notification is sent with "Flameshot Info Screenshot Aborted".

Screenshots or screen recordings

No response

System Information

1. linux 5.16.9-arch1-1
2. two screens
3. awesome-wm with xorg

Isn't this duplicate of all the following?

• Crash after adding text area and clicking on the any other tool. #2283
• Screenshot aborts when changing from text to anything else using flameshot gui #2353
• Clicking on arrow aborts screenshot #2402
• Selection of any tool after using text tool closes flameshot #2407

Considering that they have been resolved with #2369, you can get the fix either by installing from AUR or compiling from source. If you are willing to wait until the next release, will be included in that one.

Oh for the love of God, I'm an idiot. I searched in open issues.

Sorry! Closing.

@mo read the last line of my comment in this thread that is posted 22 days ago 😉 :

Yes I saw it. I think it makes sense to fix it in Ubuntu 22.04 as well, many people are upgrading to it right now and on aug 4th they will turn on automatic upgrade of all LTS users to this new Ubuntu version. I installed the latest dev version now, so it works well for me.

@mo We do not maintain the Ubuntu software repos. We only maintain the packages on our Github release page, Snap, Flathub, and the flameshot-git on Arch User Repository. Also, this will be included in the next release. If someone doesn't want to wait, they can install from our nightly builds
