=== Flameshot only captures a portion of the screen ===
On Wayland, Flameshot might capture only the top left of the screen when fractional scaling is used. This can be solved by running it with the environment variable <code>QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb</code>. This will run it under X11, so Xwayland will need to be set up in your compositor. Keyboard input may not work correctly.
