Description
Hello Gents, First of all thank you for creating Flameshot :) I love it but I got some ideas to report ;) however: There is some kind of a bug when trying to take a screenshot with keyboard shortcut. First of all I got "flameshot gui" assigned to PS key. When I press PrtScr Flameshot:
- flameshot launch in English! Why it is so when it is workjing with my native [PL] language normally?
- indeed is opening and I got selection tool but sometimes randomly flameshot hide all open windows and show me desktop instead. Pressing ESC and PrtScr again opens Flameshot again but this time everything is correct. I am using 2 monitors BTW.
Those bugs are pretty annoying. Could you please fix it? Thank you in advance.
Steps to reproduce
- Run 'flameshot gui'
- Check if language was changed from default system settings to English
- See if the windows are gone or stay in place
- When this issue occurs - you will see desktop to select from screenshot.

I can vouch for the disappearing windows. I'm also on Mint with 2 monitors and flameshot gui assigned to Print Screen, and with Firefox as the active window it sometimes feels like a coin flip for whether it will be visible when the capture UI pops up. Don't know whether a video affects it, but that's usually what I'm trying to capture.
The failure rate is either 0 or close to 0 when clicking the tray icon instead of using a button mapping.

Also having this on Mint Cinnamon. It's a complete gamble as to if, when I press print screen, the thing I need will show up or if it will just go to my desktop wallpaper with all the windows gone. It's especially frustrating if I'm trying to capture something that's only temporarily onscreen, like a part of a livestream or game. Very, very frustrating. :(
