Bug Description
Sometimes, after taking a screenshot, when you click to close the gnome-screenshot window, it fails to close and remains open, but in the background, behind everything else.
What is much worse, is that the icon in launcher does disappear. So, you have a "ghost" window left open, behind every other window, that you have NO WAY TO REACH except by minimizing or closing EVERY SINGLE other window one by one, until the only one that remains is screengrab.
This makes bug 1526082 even more annoying, as sometimes, even after you (think you) have closed all screengrab's windows, there is still a rectanguar area of the screen that is slightly dimmed. The first time it happened to me, I thought bug 1526082 had got worse and that the screengrabbed area would now remain dimmed forever even after closing screengrab. But then I found out the window was still there.
This is fucking pathetic. Please drop Gnome for good and pick an alternative that is decently maintained, by non-idiots.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
You tagged `screengrab` which is used by Lubuntu's LXDE desktop. However Lubuntu 16.04 LTS is now EOL/end-of-life, as being a flavor it had only three years of supported life.
This package as such won't be fixed, however I also wonder if you've tagged the wrong package, as the Ubuntu desktop (Unity or https:/ /packages. ubuntu. com/xenial/ ubuntu- desktop) used `gnome-screenshot` (https:/ /packages. ubuntu. com/xenial/ gnome-screensho t) which still is a supported package.
I'll mark this bug as incomplete, as it's marked against an unsupported package, if however you believe I'm in error (or intended to mark it against gnome-screenshot), feel free to leave comment, change package and then return the status (near top of page) to "New".
