Shutter is very slow and laggy, and I'm not sure why. I've tried to change settings to "Do not save file automatically" and "Do not copy anything to clipboard" but it's still incredibly slow. I have it bound to my PrtScr key, and when I press it, my computer will seize up for 10 to 45 seconds. I can still move my mouse, but it's slow, and I can't perform any actions with the keyboard or mouse clicks.

I have 6 GB RAM with trim, a very small swap, and 2 monitors, which I'm sure doesn't help, but I don't think this should be happening regardless.

  • is this question still open after these years? can you check for memory status? using "free", "top", and/or "htop" to see... some times lack of enough memory and running on SWAP may reduce many process... – Omid Ghayour May 06 '22 at 14:03
  • apparently it's no longer open, seeing that you ask about that more than 1 year ago. Is there not an "autoclose feature" ? (Like no activity, and no answer, and no comments ==> Close) – Luuk Jun 13 '23 at 16:49
  • @Luuk the question very much remains open as of April 2025. I can confirm that the 10-45 second delay still occurs in Ubuntu 24 with shutter 0.99.5 Rev.1783 on a system that is 99% idle and has 42GB of free RAM. – personal_cloud Apr 06 '25 at 22:36
