@jack9603301

cmake ../ -DUSE_WAYLAND_CLIPBOARD=1

try

If you meant that I remove the -DUSE_WAYLAND_GRIM=true in the cmake and only use cmake ../ -DUSE_WAYLAND_CLIPBOARD=1, then that doesn't work either

The grim adapter should not be started under KDE, using the traditional dbus protocol may work. The grim adapter is explicitly designed to work for the wayland implementation of wlroots, and will not work with KDE and GNOME

rm -rfv *
cmake ../ -DUSE_WAYLAND_CLIPBOARD=1

@mmahmoudian can you capture the dbus log using something like bustle? This issue caught my attention because i also experienced this on my forked version. But I did a clean rebuild and some arch updates and now the problem is gone.

When I was first experiencing the issue there was a dbus error saying I lacked permissions. I was thinking something in plasma changed so I went to do some bisecting but the problem mysteriously resolved.

I tried replicating using the aur flameshot-git package as well and can no longer replicate it.
