I am having the same issue and mentioned here.

Running gnome-screenshot with both --clipboard & --file  options does not work as intended.
It sends the captured screen only to the clipboard but it does not save it in the mentioned file.

It would be great if it's fixed.

Cheers!!

Title:
  gnome-screenshot does not save --file when called with --clipboard
  option

Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Dear developers,

  I tried both options --file and --clipboard individually and they just work.
  user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area --file=/home/user/Desktop/Screenshot_1.png
  user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area --clipboard

  However running gnome-screenshot with both options does not work as
  intended, i.e. make a copy to the clipboard AND store a copy on my
  desktop or in a Screenshot folder for later reference. I am used to
  this behaviour from the LightScreen app.

  user@host ~/ $ gnome-screenshot --area
  --file=/home/user/Desktop/Screenshot_1.png --clipboard

  I guess the problem is with the following peace of code from gnome-
  screenshot-3.16.0/src/screenshot-application.c

    if (screenshot_config->copy_to_clipboard)
      {
        screenshot_save_to_clipboard (self);
        screenshot_play_sound_effect ("screen-capture", _("Screenshot taken"));

        g_application_release (G_APPLICATION (self));

        return;
      }

  It obviously does a g_application_release and return before actually saving the image to file.
  Suggested fix is to move this code block after the block saving the image to make it work.

  Kind regards,
  Stefan
