Description Peter M 2018-11-27 00:14:58 UTC 
SUMMARY
Pressing the 'Super' (a.k.a. Windows) key while in rectangle-select mode will lock the user in the 'select region' mode. Pressing escape or enter will not have an effect

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Press Print key
2. Select 'Rectangular region' -> Take a new screenshot
3. Press the Super key

OBSERVED RESULT
The program is locked in the region-selection mode. It remains responsive to mouse actions, however keyboard inputs are ignored. Since neither escape not enter terminate the selection process, the system is effectively locked. The behavior is reproducable on my system. Fiddling with Ctrl+Alt+[F-key] seems to crash X when returning to the X session the bug was produced in. I also observed an uncalled system reboot.

EXPECTED RESULT
Anything from 'nothing' to 'the start menu opens'. Personally, I tried to take a screenshot of my start menu.

You can draw a box and double-click in it to escape when this happens.
