Bug Description

when dash is open and if the mouse pointer is clicked on the desktop space somewhere other than the dash itself the dash minimizes (or disappears) this doesnot seem to happen when taking a screenshot. If the dash is open and the screenshot button is pressed on keyboard, and then if I try clicking on the desktop space other than the dash, the dash doesnot minimize.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for your bug report. What do you mean by "stops working"? It seems to indeed not close when clicking on the background in those cases but still works correctly

I mean that the default behaviour of minimizing of dash doesnot happen
properly after taking a screen shot then clicked on the desktop.
