This happens on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well (I know it's not out yet, but I found the same bug during testing).

I have a keyboard shortcut setup to run gnome-screenshot --area -c to allow me to do quick screen grabs. I can confirm that if I use the screenshot dialog I can copy to the clipboard with that but using the CLI version of the same function does not work. It looks like it functions normal but when you go to paste the screenshot that you just took, nothing happens. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 19.10 Release: 19.10 apt-cache policy gnome-screenshot gnome-screenshot: Installed: 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.33.90-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1852679/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
