Bug Description

After upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 with a ATI Proprietary drivers installed whenever I select the "Selection" tool in shutter the entire desktop is replaced with a solid black color. Cropping tool works and text appears ok however any selection (after double click) also appears solid black.

Also running Gnome Shell with fglrx-update. Here is something else that may help: when I take a desktop screenshot, only what was on my primary display is black, while my secondary display shows just fine. Capturing a window on my secondary display also works, but not on the primary display.

Affects me just the same, When I do a window grap, it appears to be fine, but the image is all black. When I use the selection tool, The whole screen is black, except the red cross hairs, it also saves a black image.
