On KDE Wayland, Spectacle includes the mouse cursor in screenshots by default. Adding --no-decoration removes it, giving NormCap cleaner input for OCR. Tested on Fedora 44, KDE Plasma 6.3, Spectacle 24.x. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
On KDE Wayland, Spectacle includes the mouse cursor in screenshots by default. This gives NormCap dirty input — the cursor pixels end up inside the selection area and can confuse OCR.
Fix
Add
--no-decorationto the Spectacle arguments. This flag suppresses the cursor overlay without affecting anything else.One-line change, no side effects.
Testing
Tested on Fedora 44, KDE Plasma 6.3, Spectacle 24.x, Wayland.
