Selection square remains on the screen

Hi. When I use escrotum -s -C and then capture a selection of my screen sometimes the selection square remains on the screen. I use version 0.2.1 on Debian testing in AwesomeWM.

Same issue here with Arch linux and awesomewm. ~~Any ideas how to get rid of the square in the middle of my screen :-) ?~~ Edit: Ctrl+Super+r reloads awesome and the square is gone.

It hangs or crashes? Is there any traceback?

That's weird.. could you check if the process keeps running in the background before/after restart awesome?

Indeed there is a process running after I've used escrotum -s -C

When I kill that process, the rectangle disappears! My statement from the last post that ctrl+super+r also removes the rectangle is not true. It just moves to the most rear layer which made me think its gone.

Can i ask you to replace this line with, pass, and try running from a terminal, so we can get some traceback?

Hi, the pass does the trick, screenshoted section gets into clipboard but frame disappears!
