Selective screenshot using <Super>+Button1 is Overlayed with blue color

The Screen shot plugin enabled from Compiz Config Settings Manager doesn't work properly. The screen shots of the selected areas get overshadowed with blue color..

Not as clear of a screen shot as I would get in previous Ubuntu versions.

Solution 1:

This is a known bug in Compiz: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/771875

Solution 2:

I'm sorry you are getting this problem, but as tshirtman points out, it is a known bug. What you should probably do is install shutter or lookit and use them for taking screenshots.

In both applications you can even use the same (or at least a similar) shortcut.

P.S. I will add further instructions later.
