10 months ago This is duplicate. Please search in open and closed issues before creating a new one. It can save your time. This issue is already fixed. Also your Flameshot version is pretty old. I suggest updating to the lastest version to get new features and fixed bugs. More information here:

10 months ago @mmahmoudian , I did search on issues, but clearly not well enough
I also tried version 12. Which I should have mentioned, and that did not seem to make any diference.
apt installs version 11 as the latest
13:15 $ sudo apt install flameshot 13:15:22
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
flameshot is already the newest version (11.0.0-2).I did search on issues, but clearly not well enough
Yes, probably you didn't use good search terms. I didn't remember by heart what was the first post about this and when it was solved. So used is:issue is:closed text tool and from the results I manages to fish these out:
You can see in those that this issue is fixed in #2369
also tried version 12. Which I should have mentioned, and that did not seem to make any diference.
I don't know how you have installed it, but make sure to remove the v11.0.0 before installing v12.1.0,

Well, it is not apt fault. Your distro of choice (i.e Ubuntu) is at this point very behind. This is the nature of point-release distros (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, OpenSuse Leap, Fedora). If you move to a rolling-release distro (e.g., Arch, Manjaro, OpenSuse Tumbleweed, Nix, Guix) you will generally have more updated versions. For more information about point-release vs. rolling-release, you can read this link: https://linuxiac.com/rolling-vs-point-release-linux-distributions/
There is also a very easy way to check which distro has which version of Flameshot: https://repology.org/project/flameshot/versions
Now, in your case, I personally do not recommend you to change your distro just because of one screenshot tool (although it is the best of the best 😉 ). You can get the latest version using any of the dostro-agnostic solutions. We have explained it one our website:

Description
When editing a screenshot I can use any of the tools and switch between them with the exception of the text tool.
I can succcessfully add a text to the screenshot, but if I then switch to any other tool the screenshot is aborted.

I tried three screenrecording software. Peek, Kooha and ubuntu native screen recording. None of them caught the flameshot gui.
