Bug#792089: gnome-screenshot: GNOME Screenshot flash doesn't go away until the app exits

[James Lu]

Package: gnome-screenshot
Version: 3.16.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Recently, I've been having issues with GNOME Screenshot leaving a modal grey
box the size of the screenshot area on the screen, until the app is closed.
This makes it extremely difficult to take screenshots in interactive mode,
because a screenshot of a large window / the entire screen will block
everything underneath, including the screenshooter's save dialog.

I'm using Cinnamon DE (cinnamon: 2.6.8-1, muffin: 2.6.1-3) with the AMD fglrx-
driver (version 1:15.7-1), in case that might be relevant. xserver-xorg-core
has version 2:1.17.2-1.

I've also tried changing the GTK+ theme, but that did not help.

Best,
James
