Bug Description

Sometimes, when I am taking a custom screenshot, the gray box wich I draw over the screen does not disappear, which leads to the situation that it gets included into the screenshot (is making the picture darker).
Also, the mouse pointer stays in the 'cross'-state, which means I cannot click any buttons in the screenshot window. Keys like ESC or ENTER are working.

The Behavior is not clearly reproduceable, it happens about every third time I am taking a custom screenshot.

Here is a picture of how it looks like after I release the mouse button for drawing the gray box:

It happens when the delay is 0. My suggestion is to use a border to indicate the area and don't fill it with semi-transparent background at all.

Hey, thanks for the fix, it works great! :-)

Unfortunately, it seems like the terminal commands are not working any more.
commands like
$ screenshot-tool -r
$ screenshot-tool -w

lead to the error "Could not capture screenshot. Image not saved."

Any ideas?
