[Bug 1392053] [NEW] gnome-screenshot sometimes hangs leaving a transparent white square over the screen

 

Public bug reported:

Sometimes after taking some screenshots gnome-screenshots hangs and
leaves a transparent white filled zone over my screen.

The PrintScreen key does not work anymore in that situation.

If I kill the gnome-screenshot process the white zone disappears and the
PrintScreen key becomes functional again.

I am using Ubuntu 14.10 with Unity. It comes with gnome-screenshot
3.10.1
