can you both confirm that you were using the KDE Wayland before this as well.

yep

actually, after some yay and updates, for me the issue was automatically solved...but sometimes happens again: don't really sure what's the cause (beside KDE Wayland, I guess)

[mvvtf]

Same here, also with version v12.1.0 (-)

I'm on Fedora, not Arch, but also use KDE Wayland

When I start flameshot gui normally I also get qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate() so I don't think opening another issue is needed

Also, it works when launching with the env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb as suggested here but then keybinds won't work

[alxndr13]

Got the same issue, but without KDE. I'm using sway.

[dvoytik]

Same problem on sway. Executing it according to https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/blob/master/docs/Sway%20and%20wlroots%20support.md

[koloved]

I have the same problem, but it kinda works but it always open on second monitor (it use right monitor on AMD gpu)

Also it didnt copy URL to clipboard after uploading

Fixed it on my system, but how it got into the broken state in the first place, I have no idea.

In your ~/.config/kwinrc, go to section [Plugins], find screenshotEnabled=false and set it to true. This is apparently an internal plugin that can be disabled in KCM Workspace Behavior -> Desktop Effects (if you click on the Filter icon and uncheck Exclude Internal Effects).

I recently started having the same problem on Hyprland. Worked fine before...
