Bug Description

Observed behaviour:
I press <Ctl>+<Shift>+<PrtScn> and then select an area of the screen to take a screenshot of. There is a subtle "flash" on screen as if the action was completed successful, but when inspecting the ~/Pictures folder, no new image is present.
Capturing an entire screen or everything using <Alt>+<PrtScn> or just <PrtScn> works.

Expected behaviour: When pressing <Ctl>+<Shift>+<PrtScn> and selecting a part of the screen, an image should appear under ~/Pictures showing the contents of the selected part of the screen.

Repeatibility: always

Workarounds: take a snapshot of the entire screen and then use an image editor to crop it.
