Bug Description
This is a copy of the Debian bug report https:/
Shutter now fails to perform simple screenshots in Debian Jessie.
Here's an example of this problem:
```
anarcat@marcos:~$ shutter -s
defined(@array) is deprecated at /usr/bin/shutter line 3727.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
defined(@array) is deprecated at /usr/bin/shutter line 3738.
(Maybe you should just omit the defined()?)
WARNING: Gtk2::AppIndicator is missing --> there will be no icon showing up in the status bar when running Unity!
[... select zone, press enter]
Expecting 1645 bytes, got 47 at -1 at /usr/share/
*** unhandled exception in callback:
*** Unexpected short read from authority file/home/
*** ignoring at /usr/share/
[at this point i expected the usual popup with the captured image, but
instead shutter seems hanged. sending a signal (e.g. control-c on the
terminal) makes it resume its regular duties and the captured image
shows up normally]
^CGLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 159 was not found when attempting to remove it at /usr/bin/shutter line 7247.
```
I marked this as "grave" because it makes shutter basically completely
unuseable unless someone knows about the commandline, which makes
shutter basically useless (i can think of a few other ways to make
screenshots from the commandline, the whole point of this software is
to have an intuitive pointy-clicky interface).
My .Xauthority file is readable:
anarcat@marcos:~$ file .Xauthority
.Xauthority: X11 Xauthority data
Interestingly, moving away my .shutter directory fixes the problem. so i
guess that's not something that deserves "grave" severity...
I have been able to isolate the problem to the "Include cursor when
taking a screenshot" setting. If it's on, I see the bug, if it's off, I
don't, regardless of the above versions.
Not sure what's going on - surely there's interaction with some other
component that has been upgraded, but I'm at a loss as to what happened
exactly...

This is reported against a very old Shutter version. I'd propose to report the bug upstream if it is still present: https:/ /github. com/shutter- project/ shutter/ issues
