Shutter is the nicest screenshot program I have ever seen. But there is
one little issue. I'm using two monitors and when I want to make a
screenshot then shutter takes the contents of my left monitor, puts it
onto the right monitor and allows me to select the region I'd like to
capture there. The left monitor remains dark during that operation.

I would like it if Shutter were able to capture from both monitors.

Could you please provide a short screencast? gtk-recordMyDesktop is a
good application for this.

Please do the following:
1) start Shutter via terminal with debug parameter: shutter --debug
2) reproduce the error you've described and record everything what you
are doing
3) attach the screencast and the terminal output here

Thanks for your help.
Mario

Hello Christoph,

I have tested the version of shutter in squeeze and the version I've
just uploaded to unstable on my multi-monitor system and it captured
my full desktop successfully. Do you still have problems with these
newer versions of shutter? If so, could you please follow the debug
steps provided by Mario in the bug report log to give us more
information about this?

Thanks,
Ryan
