Bug Description
It was working quite alright 2 weeks ago. I have changed nothing since then.
Tonight, when trying to screencap for the gnome-sushi bug, it would flash as if taking a screencap for both fullscreen, and selected area style screenshots.
However, it wouldn't save the screenshot anywhere.
I'm not certain where it used to save (by default, up until 2 weeks ago), but I think it was Pictures.
If I search in Nautilus for "Screenshot from 2017-10-30" I see previous screenshots, up until 10-30, and there are no screenshots saved from today, or anything since 2 weeks ago.
I tried changing the auto-save-directory in gconf, as well as via terminal commands. I tried with different styles: "file:///......" as well as simply "/home...." No matter what, screenshots still flash and make the click sound, but do not save in the directory. Not Desktop, Pictures, /tmp, Downloads.
If I call "gnome-screenshot --interactive" from Terminal, the save dialog does successfully save the screenshot.
I have no idea how to replicate this bug, because I did nothing to create this bug. Just 2 weeks after taking several successful screenshots, gnome-screenshot no longer saves screenshots. Anywhere.

Still buggin' out. I should add that the screen both flashes and makes the shutter sound effect, then just doesn't even try to save the file.
If I select capture area, it gives me the chance to drag my rectangle, flashes, and shutter sound effect, just no file saving. Boo.
