Package: flameshot
Version: 12.1.0-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
The version of flameshot included in Bookworm is incapable of taking
screenshots in Wayland. When you tell it to take a screenshot it just
hangs.
I cloned https://github.org/flameshot-org/flameshot, ran "apt
build-dep flameshot", and then followed the instructions in README.md
to build and install in /usr/local, and it works just fine. This is
probably just a matter of upgrading the Debian repository to match the
current Flameshot codebase.

This is more complicated than I thought.
It turns out that the flameshot that gets launched on startup in Waldn if I have it configured to do that doesn't work, but if I close and relaunch flameshot from the terminal it is able to capture screenshots.
So the problem seems to be that flameshot processes that aren't launched interactively don't work properly under Wayland.
I've posted about this at https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/3326 .
