GNOME shortcuts for screenshots and screencast don't work anymore

Hello,

I have this issue since some months now and I used a workaround until today, but now I would like to have the screenshot feature working again with the keyboard shortcuts like before. The issue seemed to have appeared after a Pacman upgrade.

When I'm pressing the PrintScreen button on the keyboard, nothing happens. When pressing Shift + PrintScreen, I see the cursor changing to select an area, I can select, but then nothing happens.
Also, the Ctrl + Shift + Alt + R command for recording a video doesn't work anymore too.

In "journalctl -r", I'm seeing this when trying to do a screencast:

When pressing PrintScreen I get this error:

I don't know if the screenshot and the screencast issues are related, but it seems they stopped to work at the same time.

For the moment, I'm a still able to do screenshots with the GNOME GUI by opening the Screenshot software, but I would like to use keyboard shortcuts again.
