This is one is taken when I do Alt+Shift+4 (My shortcut to take an area screenshot).

I also have a shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Prt Scr to take a screenshot of a window and copy it to the clipboard.

That produced the same as above.

Finally, a screenshot of my list of Screenshot shortcuts, taken with area shot.

According this Debian bug report, this bug shows up when NVidia driver v304 is installed. Upgrading to a higher version ought to solve it. The bug report states that v319 is known to fix it, at least. On Arch Linux, I have v340 installed and the bug hasn't shown up.
