After upgrade to 22.04, screenshot shortcuts are re-enabled and cannot be disabled

[Philipp]

I’ve upgraded from Ubuntu 21.10 to 22.04 using do-release-upgrade. After the upgrade, I found that the screenshot shortcuts in Settings > Keyboard > View and Customize Shortcuts > Screenshots were all enabled even though I had previously disabled them. I don’t expect an OS upgrade to undo settings I explicitly made.

It also doesn’t seem possible to disable these shortcuts. I’ve disabled all of them, yet pressing “Print” (for example) still invokes the new screenshot utility that was introduced in 22.04.

This is especially problematic because I have set-up custom screenshot shortcuts to use Flameshot. These shortcuts don’t work anymore even though they’re still shown in the Custom Shortcuts section.

Specifically, Print, Alt+Print, and Ctrl+Print are all hijacked by the new screenshot utility with no way to prevent that.

Now, what actually happens is that no matter what’s set-up for these shortcuts, pressing Print (for example) always shows the new screenshot utility. After that, one can press Share which then seems to pass the screenshotted area onto Flameshot? This is a superbly weird interaction and I don’t want it.

(Note that it was not possible for me to identify the package responsible for this because "ubuntu-bug -w" doesn’t seem to work on my system because of something related to Wayland.)
