That first screenshot makes it look like you've installed Dropbox Capture. Maybe try and see if that is running or you can uninstall :)

    I haven't installed that.

    There aren't any programs running under that name.

      What happens if you do a screenshot and Dropbox is closed completely?

        dropbox closed: nothing. Normal screeshot. AKA it does nothing unless I paste.

        Dropbox open: The silly popup inviting me to paste, then it goes away after five seconds or so. (It saves the screenshot as well.)

        Is this a new update 'feature' or something?
