Bug#1102265: Can't take screenshot from second monitor

[Toni Mueller]

Package: shutter
Version: 0.99.2-4
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream


Hi,

I think this is an upstream problem after reading upstream's changelog.

Whenever I try to take a screenshot from my second monitor, I get an
error message:

"Error while taking the screenshot.

Maybe mouse pointer could not be grabbed, or selected area is invalid."


It doesn't matter whether I run shutter normally, or with "-C".


Please see the attached image.



Cheers,
Toni
