Bug Description

Based on Bug #1392053's closing comment, creating a new bug report as I am also facing this issue with gnome-screenshot. It's the same error, where there's a white outline in the centre (where the screenshot area is), and everything else on the screen is darker.

Uncertain how to reproduce the error currently.

My system details are as follows.

$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
Release: 22.04

$ apt-cache policy gnome-screenshot
