Thanks!

@cnut1648 Thank you. You initially missed to report your Display Server. Now we have that info, but still we miss the correct installation method. If we assume the version number is correct, then it means you didn't install it via AUR. It is crucial to know which binary you are using.

Hi @mmahmoudian , I installed by pacman -S flameshot on manjaro. I originally thought the package is pulled from here, but it turns out that manjaro has its own channel, so I assume the package is downloaded from here
