This is unfortunate, but expected. Basically, the main menu grabs the keyboard when it pops up preventing the window manager from seeing the printscreen keypress. The main menu needs to grab the keyboard so that you can navigate the menus with the keyboard. To take a screenshot like this you'll need to launch gnome-panel-screenshot with a timer. E.g. go to "Run Application" and enter "gnome-panel-screenshot --delay 5", hit return, open the main menu and after 5 seconds the screenshot will be taken. We may be able to make the main menu itself see the printscreen key press and take a screenshot, but this wouldn't work for all menus (e.g. the menus in an application). If we make this enhancement, we'll do it in upstream GNOME, however. Okay, lets track this upstream now: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144907 *** Bug 125775 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
