GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 590792
Too awkward to "Grab a selected area" using the screenshot tool
Last modified: 2021-05-25 12:37:41 UTC
Trying to accurately select an area to screenshot is difficult, especially on a laptop with a touchpad. I begin dragging, and when I release, the screenshot is taken immediately. There is no opportunity to adjust the selected area. I would love if the tool worked like cropping does in GIMP: with squares at each corner that I can drag around to adjust the area. Try GIMP and try the screenshot tool, which is quite awkward, especially if you want to be accurate. Other information: Reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/409149
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
