How to get back my favorite dialog after screenshot?

Bug Description

In earlier versions of that package I just pressed Shift+PrScr, select an area and see a dialog after it whether I want to save it or not.

Now Shift+PrScr saves screenshot implicitly and I have to press Shift+Alt+PrScr

Could you provide me a solution (Not gnome-screenshot -a -i because it has extra dialog after executing it)?
If it's as designed, please tell me latest version with older behaviour I could hold from updates

Thanks, that's somewhat a similar discussion to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=719919 but it seems upstream isn't considering providing that feature back

I just switched from Linux Mint Virginia. It's version of gnome-screenshot allows you to decide whether to save the file, copy it to the clipboard or abandon it. Any way to get the behavior in ubuntu?

I was able to install the Mint version from https://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/debian/mint/packages/pool/upstream/g/gnome-screenshot/gnome-screenshot_41.0+mint2+vanessa_amd64.deb and it replaced the existing version and does what I want. I guess I need to lock the version.
