Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. trigger a notification pop-up (e.g. ``notify-send Date "`date`"``)
2. mouse over the notification to bring it into focus
3. press `Alt`+`PrintScreen` to attempt to take a screenshot of the window in focus
4. nothing happens and the `PrintScreen` button becomes unresponsive

Nothing is logged and no crash reports are generated. The button simply becomes unresponsive. Restarting Gnome (`Alt`+`F2` and typing `r`restores the functionality of the `PrintScreen` button).

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.
