Spectacle opening Dolphin as root

Hi I am new here, but not new to Linux, been using various distros for 15 years. Now I am using Tuxedo OS, with the KDE plasma desktop.

When I hit Print Screen it brings up Spectacle for a screen shot. When I go to look at the image from the dialog, it opens Dolphin as root. I only installed this system a couple of days ago. Not sure why its happening? It should open Dolphin as non root.

When I use to cli to check who has sudo privilege I get:

Code:bob@bob-tobefilledbyoem:~$ getent group sudo
sudo:x:27:bobI just tried to open the Spectacle Icon in the KDE folder, and it opens Dolphin as non root, but opening it from print screen is root. What gives?

I am thinking the keyboard has some sort of root privilege? This never happened in KDE Neon, Kubuntu, Open Suse, Linux Mint Plasma?
