Bug ID: 490434
Summary: Pop-up prompt to "click and drag to draw a selection
rectangle" randomly remains on the screen when making
selection

This is what it looks like when the prompt remains on the screen rather than
going away when drawing a selection

The following happens with "Capture Mode" set to "Rectangular Region", "Delay"
set to "On Click", and "When Launching Spectacle" set to "Use last-used capture
mode"
When I press the PrtSc key, crosshairs appear on the screen. I click my mouse
once which produces the pop-up message to "click and drag to draw a selection
rectangle". I then click a second time to begin drawing my selection. Sometimes
at this point the pop-up message stays on the screen (rather than disappearing)
and ends up being captured within my selection.
Other times following the same steps produces the crosshairs, an initial click
produces the pop-up message, and a second click causes the pop-up to go away as
expected, allowing me to make a screen capture selection that does not include
the pop-up message itself.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set "Capture Mode" set to "Rectangular Region", "Delay" set to "On Click",
and "When Launching Spectacle" set to "Use last-used capture mode"
2. Press PrtSc to initiate the drawing of a rectangular screen image
3. click a second time to bring up the pop-up prompt message
4. click a third time to draw the rectangular selection
OBSERVED RESULT
Sometimes the pop-up message remains on the screen and will be included in my
rectangular selection. Other, seemingly random times, it will disappear from
the screen before I draw the screen show selection. I saw "random" because
between one occurrence and the next I am not changing any settings for
Spectacle.
EXPECTED RESULT
Expected result is that the pop-up message prompt would always disappear before
drawing the rectangular selection.
