** Summary changed:
- Shutter captures black screen only on Wayland
+ Captures black screen only on Wayland
** Description changed:
I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 with GNOME 3.22 and I have found that
after switching from Xorg to Wayland from the login screen that when I
try to use Shutter to take a screenshot, if I use the "Selection" option
for example my screen will just go black and all it will take a
screenshot of is that black screen. It may also show the Shutter logo
going down the middle of the screen but slightly cut off and on a white
background. It may also have columns either side of it with either bits
of my screen on them or just solid black.
Anyhow it is very strange and definitely not my screen. It may even not
allow me to exit it unless I kill the process in another TTY, it will
just not close no matter what else I do. And it will not take the
screenshot on these occasions, I will just be stuck there. And although
it not doing anything when pressing Enter to get it to take the
screenshot has happened on Xorg before, now it is doing it basically
every time on Wayland and going completely crazy in the other ways I
described. It is now completely unusable.
+ ***Although I only mentioned Shutter in the above original report, as
+ the other programs I have this issue in are also screencasting programs
+ I think that the issue is similar enough for have them all share the
+ same bug report. Please correct me if I am wrong and we should have
+ separate ones for each program.***
