Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 from 2.44.4+dfsg-1 to 2.44.5+dfsg-4 in
forky, mate-screenshot started to hang when pressing Save button. All its
controls get inactive, the mouse pointer turns into "busy" state, there are
no messages in GUI or terminal and the file is never created.

Downgrading libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 back to 2.44.4+dfsg-1 fixes the issue.

Setting Affects as requested in #1128001.

Hi,

I have a feeling that this is related to the transition of the
gdk-pixbuf package with glycin.

Dear Maintainer,

this is just to add a data point and to confirm the issue in Forky
(same package version as Andrey)
