This annoys me greatly also.

FYI, I believe this pertains to "Non-interactive mode" - that is, I
pressed Print Screen without specifically opening the GUI.

Background:  The UX expectation (from Windows) is that Print Screen
simply places the screenshot into the clipboard. When Print Screen is
pressed again, the previous clipboard is overwritten. A very tidy, fast
UX flow.

Opinion:  By not directly copying to the clipboard, the user must locate
the Screenshot GUI and press "copy to clipboard" - irritating, but I
suppose that's a matter of opinion. I'd suggest that by pressing Print
Screen, I intentionally avoided the GUI - I don't want it.

BUG:  However, if the GUI is already open, it DOES NOT refresh when I
press Print Screen again. The Print Screen button is effectively
disabled once the GUI is open. I have to find and close the GUI first.
This behavior seems BUG worthy. This is especially irritating when the
GUI is open on some other workspace, and Print Screen fails silently.

Title:
  Must exit screenshot app to take another one

Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Not sure if this is really a bug, but it surely irritates me.

  Whenever I take a screenshot (printscreen) the Screenshot app fires
  up. I then copy the screenshot to my clipboard, open up gimp and do
  whatever i need to.

  After that, if I need another screenshot. I press printscreen again.
  This time nothing happens. I have to manually quit the Screenshot app,
  and printscreen it again. I would prefer the printscreen button to
  override the existing printscreen, regardless of whether the
  screenshot app is running.

  Regards,
  Rob
