Actually I cannot tell with 100% certainty that the window fails to close when I do so. It may be that I failed/forgot to close it, and that the real issue is the launcher not listing it. However, this only happens to me when I take several screenshots (not many, because of bug 1526082), and accumulate a few gnome-screenshot windows open, and then go to close them all. I never, ever observed taking a single screenshot and the launcher icon not appearing since the beginning. Nor taking a single screenshot, then attempting to close the single window and observing the issue. It's only when I have a few open and finally close them all, that after closing what seems to be the last one, there's one more left with no launcher icon (just to clarify: not always, only very rarely). So it's like the count of open windows gets the wrong value at some point, either when opening a new instance or when closing one. I don't think I've ever observed this with other applications, though that might be because gnome-screenshot is the only one of which I so often open a few instances. The only other two I can think of are the terminal and nautilus, and I don't think I've observed this with those. Might be just statistics. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screenshot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1883000 Title: screengrab window remain open, without icon in launcher, hence impossible to find Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Sometimes, after taking a screenshot, when you click to close the gnome-screenshot window, it fails to close and remains open, but in the background, behind everything else. What is much worse, is that the icon in launcher does disappear. So, you have a "ghost" window left open, behind every other window, that you have NO WAY TO REACH except by minimizing or closing EVERY SINGLE other window one by one, until the only one that remains is screengrab. This makes bug 1526082 even more annoying, as sometimes, even after you (think you) have closed all screengrab's windows, there is still a rectanguar area of the screen that is slightly dimmed. The first time it happened to me, I thought bug 1526082 had got worse and that the screengrabbed area would now remain dimmed forever even after closing screengrab. But then I found out the window was still there. This is fucking pathetic. Please drop Gnome for good and pick an alternative that is decently maintained, by non-idiots.
