Title:
Segfault when using -w / --window to screenshot current window.
Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The gnome-screenshot program segfaults every time, when I try to
capture the current window with `gnome-screenshot -w`. Taking an area
screenshot with `gnome-screenshot -a`, and taking a full desktop
screenshot with `gnome-screenshot` works, but taking a current window
screenshot with `gnome-screenshot -w` segfaults every time. Adding
delay with `-d <delay>` and capturing pointer or not with `-p` has no
effect.
This may be the same bug as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/81817
although that one is closed long ago. The relationship is that I'm
using gnome-screenshot inside the XMonad window manager, a non-
standard window manager.
