The above mentioned two buggy features (Take a Screenshot of the Current Window and Take a Screenshot of a Selected Area) are still disabled via the /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop file in Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS which is a supported version right now. Actually the commented out actions have a link in comments to this issue which led me here.
I've tried enabling back these actions (then log out, then login). Then the actions appeared on right clicking on the Screenshot icon but these features still doesn't work. I can see on the mouse pointer that something should happen (it changes to loading indicator), but finally nothing will happen, I can't get the screenshot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720262 Title: gnome-screenshot Actions don't work in default Ubuntu 17.10 session Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Status in gnome-screenshot source package in Artful: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu 17.10 Beta Ubuntu session (Wayland) Open the Activities Overview.
