Bug Description

Ubuntu screencapture on 18.04-beta crashed unexpectedly, but the screen capture shift+PrtScn did work and produce the highlighted area_box.png

Not really sure why the system reported an unexpected closure. I was somewhat surprised but the error/warning box popped up just after the screen capture.png appeared in the pictures directory as it should..with no apparent artifacts or problems.

This appears to be like a relatively "minor"issue to me?
Sorry I am running a Cinnamon desktop not gnome as I should..in xorg, X-11 not Wayland and I am using most current Nvidia drivers on a Titan / dual monitor DVI system rather than HDMI because of the dual monitor default choice problem with GDM/gnome/wayland
