Public bug reported: When using scaling in Ubuntu, gnome-screenshot segfaults when an area screenshot is taken.
To replicate the problem, launch "Displays" from the dash, slide the slider at "Scale for menu and title bars" to any value strictly greater than 1. Then issue the command "gnome-screenshot -w". It will either print "Segmentation fault" and terminate or print something like https://pastebin.com/t5AMDE6w and terminate. It won't take a screenshot. There is a bug titled "Segfault when using -w / --window to screenshot current window." which sounds like the same problem but I cannot access that bug report, so I'm not sure it actually is properly in the system. The search function tells me its there but the link to it it provides doesn't work. I use Ubuntu 16.04 with the latest updates installed and gnome- screenshot 3.18.0. ** Affects: gnome-screenshot (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1759954 Title: Segmentation fault on window screenshot when using scaling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screenshot/+bug/1759954/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
