Corrupted image on "kbackgroundsnapshot -c"

[Martin Magnusson]

Running "kbackgroundsnapshot -c" to capture the current window produces a corrupted image. I'm attaching an example image here. The program also outputs the following in the terminal:

X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
  Resource id: 0x0

When I run without arguments, or with --region, it works as expected: good image, and no terminal output.

I'm running Kubuntu 12.10, with ksnapshot version 4:4.9.3-0ubuntu0.1

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug affects me too on Kubuntu 13.04 KDE v4.10.2:

 kbackgroundsnapshot -c
X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
  Resource id: 0x0

As a workaround, "scrot -u" does what I want (as noted in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2145032)

 Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
