Is this bug fixed? It's still there on my 16.04. I found it's related to the delay timeout here.
https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/blob/master/src/screenshot- area-selection.c#L296 Although this is not the code in gnome-utils package, similar code can be found in gnome-utils package. (Try to search the number 200 in the source code.) One workaround is to set this timeout to a larger number. Another solution is to change the behavior of area-selection, for example: 1. Cover the whole screen with pink layer. 2. Transparent the user-selected area. 3. Take a screenshot with the selected area. Here is a simple example to fix this issue: https://github.com/bdsword/gnome- screenshot/commit/4648caedd1ac621e0663ffd6618b376513e0e0d7 The attachment is the result of above patch. ** Attachment added: "after.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/743176/+attachment/4973415/+files/after.jpg -- 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/743176 Title: Pink layer on taken screenshots (gnome-screenshot) Status in gnome-flashback package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-utils package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-utils After having taken a screenshot of a part of my screen (gnome- screenshot) which is marked/shown by a pink layer, this pink layer can be seen on the screenshot itself.
