flameshot Active desktop switches to Desktop 1 after saving/copying a screenshot on MacOS

Flameshot Version

v12.1.0 (96c2c82e)

Installation Type

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

Operating System type and version

macOS Monterey (Version 12.5.1)

Description

The screenshot function works perfectly fine. All the modifications (edits) I make to the screenshot are all there but immediately when I save/copy it I find myself on Desktop1 instead of the fullscreen window I took the screenshot from. I have to swipe my way back to the desktop I was on first.

Steps to reproduce

[ only tested this on macOS Monterey 12.5.1 ]

Open some app and make it fullscreen
Invoke flameshot through the keyboard shortcut or from the icon on the menubar
Select the area for a screenshot by dragging the box or resizing it (make sure you're on the desktop that has the fullscreen app)
Click on the save or copy icon

At this point, you should have the screenshot saved to disk or stored in the clipboard but the active desktop switched to Desktop1.

is this problem with apple silicon mac?

Well, I don't have enough information to conclude that the issue has to do with my machine being an M1 because I haven't ran flameshot on an Intel based Mac before. My first ever experience with [Mac + flameshot] is on an M1 🤷‍♂️. But I'm sure it doesn't hurt if someone can check on an Intel based Mac and let us know.

are u talking about using flameshot using rosetta?

Aug 28 '22 06:08 DeveloperKev

Yes

Aug 28 '22 06:08 mikiTesf

Yes

using Rosetta vs running natively makes a lot of differences, u should know.

Aug 28 '22 07:08 DeveloperKev

I do know that @DeveloperKev. Because not all apps have been natively compiled for M1, every release of MacOS comes with rosetta2 since Big Sur. And that is also why I said it would be helpful if someone can check and let us know.

all i said is: u could've mentioned rosetta in the first place. even the devs were thinking of native builds.

I've also same problem with MacOS 12.4, Intel CPU

UPDATE: v11.0.0 does not have problem but v12.0.0 and v12.1.0 have. When v12.x is installed, it always asks for permission to record desktop even if it has.

Just installed Flameshot 12.1.0 and tried to make a screenshot. My Desktop switch immediately from desktop 1 to desktop 3 (my last one, I've configured 3 desktops). So I can only make screenshots from desktop 3, after taken, it switched back to desktop 1. So, at the moment Flameshot is useless for me.

I am not reproducing this on M1, built from latest master from source.

Qt 5.15.2 Device: M1 Mac Mini, Ventura 13.0.1

I built it from source and had the same problem, but I don't understand if it was because of the impact of installing the pre-built version first.

@mmahmoudian I tried the github release and brew and the installer built from the source, both of which have this issue in m1.

I thought I tested in full screen when pressing copy, but now I am seeing the issue too.

MacOS Ventura. M1 MacBook Pro Max. When I'm copying screenshots to the clipboard, the active window automatically switches to another one.
