Screenshot not being saved to desktop Hi everyone! I've just realized that my Cmd + Shift + 3 is no longer saving screenshots on my desktop. Although the captured sound still plays when I press the combination, nothing happens afterward. Please send me some help T.T

Screenshot highlight window won't disappear When taking a screenshot with 'cmd+5', the highlight window appears and I'm able to adjust the size and shape, and then hit 'return' to take the screenshot. The screenshot saves successfully. However, when I take a screenshot using this method, instead of 'cmd+4' for example, the highlight does not disappear when I hit 'esc'. See attached screenshot showing the highlight window remaining in place. The only thing I've found that works to remove it is to restart the computer which is a little frustrating and very inconvenient. Does anyone have a solution? All software is up to date. I'm not sure what else to try. [Edited by Moderator]

Screenshots / shit command 4 When taking snapshots of portions of the screen the key stroke short cut would previously just save the "screenshot" to my desktop. As of yesterday it stopped doing this. I now get an untitled item that wants me to decide if i want to save it. I am not impressed at all. If i didn't want to save it I wouldn't have contorted 3 fingers on the keyboard, dragged my mouse over the area & selected said "image'. Is anyone else feeling my pain?
