Bug Description

Flameshot is missing the "Take Screenshot" option from its context menu.

sudo apt install flameshot

If you try to launch flameshot in GNOME3, it shows 3 separate launchers:
1) Configure Flameshot
2) Launch flameshot
3) Take Graphic...

After launching flameshot an indicator on the top panel is suppose to provide an option to take a screenshot, but it does not.

the same is happening to me when using Ubuntu 18.04. With ubuntu 20.04 everything works just fine, though.

At least, I just discovered a workaround: by double clicking on the tray icon, you can take a screenshot.

Instead, if you choose "Take a graphical screenshot" from the menu, you can take a screenshot of the menu itself (i.e., it does not disappear before the screenshot, making this menu entry useless.
