Bug Description

I'm using the Unity desktop and since yesterday every time I take a screenshot with gnome-screenshot, it crashes while taking it. Means, the whole screen is white and doesn't fades out again. This problem is even there if I only shoot an area of the screen. The flash just stays at the area I've had marked before. But the save-dialog appers; although I can't use it. I've taken a screenshot of this problem using scrot, I attached it.

That's really annoying, I can only close it with Alt+F4 or Ctrl-C. Is this a known bug or am I doing something false? :D I also reinstalled gnome-screenshot, but this didn't change anything.

Thanks in advance!
