Here is a more or less complete list of optional dependencies (package names may vary since it is from the Arch Linux PKGBUILD):
optdepends=('gnome-web-photo: web screenshot support' 'perl-image-exiftool: read and write EXIF data' 'nautilus-sendto: send screenshots via mail' 'perl-goo-canvas: editing screenshots' 'perl-gtk2-appindicator: AppIndicators support' 'perl-path-class: Imgur and Dropbox upload support' 'perl-lwp-protocol-https: Imgur and Dropbox upload support' 'perl-net-oauth: Imgur and Dropbox upload support' 'bc: 3D Rotate and 3D Reflection plugins support') Maybe some Ubuntu user could check which of them are missing in 18.04? ** Description changed: The ability to edit screenshots using shutter has been broken because Ubuntu 18.04 no longer provides these packages in its repository: 1) libgoo-canvas-perl (needed for edit feature) 2) libgoocanvas-common (needed for edit feature) 3) libgoocanvas3 (needed for edit feature) 4) libgtk2-appindicator-perl (needed for AppIndicator) To understand the usefulness of this (now missing) feature watch this video: https://youtu.be/RPkywfQ8BRA As you can see, Shutter has a streamlined work-flow when it comes to 1) Capturing Screen-shots 2) Editing Screen-shots 3) Sharing screen-shots with others via URL. It is a wonderfully productive tool for communication. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say that a screen-shot edited in shutter is worth 2 thousand words. Plus, it is the fastest way I've seen to accomplish the work-flow shown in the video-link above.
