Bug Description

When a custom area is selected for a screenshot with shift + prntscr,
the shot is taken before the blue selection tint disappears. As a result
all custom area screenshots have a blue overlay, and I have to take
multiple shots to try and get a proper one.

Suggestion:
Increase delay for screenshot shutter after blue area selection has been made.

Tested on:
Elementary OS Freya 0.3.2 (64-bit)

This is a bug in GNOME Screenshot, but not the screenshot tool we ship in Loki. Our screenshot tool does not use a blue overlay.
