Screenshot doesn't work properly in gnome

Hello everyone, since the last update I’m noticing a problem with screenshot, when I press PrintScreen I can’t see the area I’m trying to capture, the option of “screen” and “windows” seems to work normally, but when selecting an area I can’t see the difference between the gray part and the “visible” part that will be captured, it’s a little hard to explain so i tried to record a video. screenshot-problem, system is up-to-date, I didn’t changed the GPU driver or something like this, just ran the command sudo pacman -Syu about two or three days ago, tried to reinstall the screenshot tool but I didn’t find any package related to it when I try to search for “screenshot” or “printscreen”, is there anything else I can do?

It appears to be an issue with your custom GNOME Shell theme. Switch it to default and see if you can reproduce it. You may need to logout / login to test.

Yeah, changing the gnome-shell theme to whitesur solved the problem, thanks for your answer mate.
