Why was the way screenshots were handled changed?
Me and my friends question what drove the people behind this software to break something intentionally like that? I work as a Quality Assurance expert, and can only see this change as sabotage. Whe...

We have an additional fix for issues with "show floating thumbnail" out in V224, which is available as of April 29. As far as we know right now, this resolves all versions of this issue. Thanks for everyone who raised the issue and provided so much detail so we can resolve!

Apologies for my emotional response. I was very annoyed at this change, and did not find things that intuitive (the buttons say what they do when enabled, but there's no mention of what's being done when they're disabled). Eventually I figured it out by experimenting with the settings (before reading the advise given here), and now I have indeed recreated what I had before.
Still, I do wish to make note that during experimentation, I had the screenshot's URL be saved into the clipboard, instead of the image even when disabling the "Copy link to clipboard" thing. This did not happen again after after switching back and forth, and I couldn't recreate it, but I do wish to make note of it , and say that it is something to look into as a potential bug.

I wish to make note that the same "URL in clipboard despite disabling" did occur on my Desktop PC as well, and similarly, switching it back and forth took care of it.
Not as much of an issue, but none the less something of a bug.
