Can’t take a proper screenshot with shutter

I'm running Fedora 25 and I need to take a few particular screen captures so I've read that shutter is a great tool for that. Sadly I am unable to use it for some reason. Whenever I try to take a screenshot this is the result:

Fedora 25 is using Wayland and a lot of applications are not prepared for that (especially the ones that do not expect any security or limitation when accessing shared resources such as the whole screen). This is certainly a bug in shutter and it is already filled as a bugs #1299293, #1363845, #1399331.

If you want to take screenshots, you will either have to use old X, or use different tool on Wayland, until it gets fixed.
