Screenshot spanning two/multiple monitors has gap

[Dan Dascalescu]

Taking an area screenshot (Shift+Print Screen) of an application that spans two monitors results in the screenshot containing a black band where one screen ends and the other begins.

This does not happen for Alt+Print Screen.

The screenshot backend is in gnome-shell, the issue is probably there
