Shutter has some problems lately when connected to thunderbolt dock. It leads to a black screen. I suspect 4k on my laptop together with x11.
Changed to an alternatvie, flaemshot
.
To use it with printscreen follow https://flameshot.org/docs/guide/key-bindings/#on-ubuntu-and-other-gnome-based-distros and use flameshot gui
as command.
Check out /usr/bin/flameshot --help
.
If it flickers when taking the screenshot, it could be because of fractional scaling. Happened on a USB3 dock, probably related to https://github.com/flameshot-org/flameshot/issues/564.
Solved it with changing to 175% instead of 150%.
