I recently upgraded from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10 on a laptop (my desktop does not have this problem and it is also Ubuntu 17.10). After that upgrade, when I use the shutter app, and edit the images, the images are really quite bad. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling shutter and it does not fix it.
I am able to create screenshots from Gimp just fine without fuzzy/bad/aliased images.
Here is an example of a clean screenshot taken by Gimp:
Compare that with the one taken by shutter:
I have removed the shutter package and reinstalled it and it has no effect.
I've seen responses to other questions describing switching back to Xorg but I don't want to do that as that seems like squashing a gnat with a sledge hammer and might cause more problems elsewhere.

Description-en: feature-rich screenshot program
Shutter is a feature-rich screenshot program. You can take a
screenshot of a specific area, window, your whole screen, or even of
a website - apply different effects to it, draw on it to highlight
points, and then upload to an image hosting site, all within one
window.
.
Features:
* take a screenshot of your complete desktop, a rectangular area
or capture a website
* take screenshot directly or with a specified delay time
* save the screenshots to a specified directory and name them in a
convenient way (using special wild-cards)
* Shutter is fully integrated into the GNOME Desktop (TrayIcon etc.)
* generate thumbnails directly when you are taking a screenshot
and set a size level in %
* Shutter session collection
o keep track of all screenshots during session
o copy screeners to clipboard
o print screenshots
o delete screenshots
o rename your file
* upload your files directly to Image-Hosters (e.g. imgur.com), retrieve
all the needed links and share them with others
* edit your screenshots directly using the embedded drawing tool

I am able to use gnome-screenshot but I want to be able to edit the subsequent screenshot with arrows and text and that does not allow me to easily/quickly/efficiently do so (e.g., I have to repeatedly waste time opening the screenshot up in Inkscape with a lot of wasted motion).
