Public bug reported:
This is new since I upgraded to 14.10, about 60 hours ago. Tested
through four sessions. Not affected by any action in destination folder
(eg, deleting any existing screenshot files there). Not affected by
whether screenshot application or print screen button is used; not
affected by whether screenshot is whole screen, desktop or selected
area. The whole screen of the first attempt of the session is saved
somewhere (I don't know where), and cannot be overwritten for the rest
of the session, so new screenshots cannot be made without restarting. If
I attempt a selected area of a new screen, I get the corresponding
selected area of the first screen of the session, the one which cannot
be overwritten. So - the screenshot application is working correctly,
except that the first screen saved is being retained throughout the
session and cannot be overwritten. And this is completely new since my
upgrade to 14.10.
PS: I have tried the application "Shutter", which performs all
screenshot functions in a more elaborate way, and I get the same result,
therefore both the basic "gnome-screenshot" and "Shutter" use the same,
so to say, image scratchpad to store their screenshots, and for both of
them, once written to, this image scratchpad cannot be cleared for new
images for the duration of the session thereafter.
