In which version of Ubuntu are you experiencing this bug?
Are you using flameshot as a deb, snap, flatpak, or other?
I found at least four issues when looking into this, in Ubuntu 24.10
with the flameshot deb:
1. Flameshot doesn't work when started from the application menu.
1.1. When starting flameshot form the terminal, xdg-desktop-portal cannot
determine its app_id.
2. Without app_id the portal uses the empty string "" as app_id. That
grants permissions to any other program that also does not expose an
app_id. This is poorly comunicated in the dialog.
3. gnome-control-center implements a UI for permissions in the Apps
page, but there's no entry for unidentified apps.
4. Even if the app was properly identified as org.flameshot.Flameshot,
gnome-control-center only shows the Screenshot permission for snaps or
flatpaks. This seems wrong, because all apps in Wayland must use the
portal to take screenshots.
