Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
- hit shift+PrintScreen
- Drag and drop to select a rectangular area of the screen to take a screenshot of
- don't close the Gnome Screenshot dialog. Minimize it if you want
Observed issue: the rectangular area that has been captured remains slightly highlighted (i.e. brighter) as long as the Gnome Screenshot application's dialog is open. No matter what window is on the foreground (or even fullscreen for that matter), you'll keep noticing the slightly brighter rectangle.
See attachment screenshot: you can see the rectangle approximately at the center of the screen.

Thank you for your bug report, indeed that's still an issue on xenial, not an important one because easy to workaround but it would still be worth resolving
