mate-screenshot --interactive: Do not disable the "Select area to grab" option for "Grab area after a delay of", in order to be able to move the mouse cursor inside the area #351

Description

@davidhedlund

Expected behaviour

The "Grab area after a delay of" should be enabled to make it possible to move the mouse cursor inside the area (for example over a button to demonstrate that it should be clicked on) after the cursor has made the selection.

Since this is an edge case, the default "Grab area after a delay of" time for "Select area to grab" could be set to "0" automatically in order to save configuration time. And the "Grab area after a delay of" could be restored to the previous time (e.g. "5 seconds") for the other options ("Grab the whole desktop", "Grab the current window") when they are selected again.

Actual behaviour

A screenshot will be made of the selected area.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  • mate-screenshot --interactive
  • "Select area to grab"
