In addition to not working in Wayland, major shutter-features are starting to die in Ubuntu 18.04 (to be release this Thursday 2018-04-26). It seems that (upstream) debian has too soon removed the libgoo-canvas-perl package which allows quick and simple editing of screen-shots (via right-click > edit, in Shutter):

Ubuntu 18.04 runs GNOME3-Xorg by default, so it is a shame that some of shutter's features are dying due to packages that were too soon removed from the repository. Ubuntu 18.04 is a long term support release that will always be GNOME3 Xorg by default. I see no reason way shutter should not be able to work just as well in 18.04 as it did in 16.04, since both use Xorg by default.
So, to me, more urgent than Wayland support, is to re-include the packages that worked fine under Xorg, so that users can upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 without losing major features (unnecessarily) in shutter.
