In reviewing further, it looks like many applications aren't compatible with Wayland yet, including Shutter. This may not actually be a bug, but a feature request.

Yes, this is due to Ubuntu 17.10 switching to Wayland as default, you can switch to the X session in the login screen, if you want to continue using Shutter.
