Thank you for your bug report. I can't confirm that, using ctrl- printscreen does the screenshot animation and I can paste the image in e.g inkscape

Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu 14.04. 2. Login to Unity session. 3a. Try to make screenshot of the whole desktop with <Ctrl+PrintScreen> 3b. Try to make screenshot of active window with <Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen> 3c. Try to make screenshot of selected area with <Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen> Expected results: * Corresponding screenshot is saved in clipboard and may be inserted to other applications with <Ctrl+V>. Actual results: * Screenshot is not saved to clipboard. Notes: 1. This bug is complementary to bug 1282649 (Unable to make screenshot with <PrintScreen> key in Unity session in Trusty). 2. I use default shortcuts <Super+Space> and <Shift+Super+Space> for keyboard layout switching. 3. I did some tests (see my Google Docs table - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dHpGYVlMZ2JuYXdXdEtmUi1QbGxsYXc&usp=sharing). In Ubuntu 12.04 (with no matter Unity or GNOME sessions) the full working list of shortcuts used for screenshoting is as follows: <PrintScreen>, <Alt+PrintScreen>, <Ctrl+PrintScreen>, <Shift+PrintScreen>, <Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen>, <Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen>. All these hotkeys work normally in 14.04 too on GNOME FlashBack session (Compiz and Metacity).
