Hi Naoki, Believe it or not, this is really a rather hard problem to fix. The problem is when menus are active, they ask the windowing system to send all mouse and keyboard events to them. A workaround for your specific case might be to create a custom launcher that runs /usr/bin/gnome-screenshot --delay=5 (where 5 is 5 seconds). Then you can click the custom launcher immediately click the menu you want afterward.
Cheers, a workaround is no issue. Just seems odd. Is this a "won't fix" because it's a design flaw therefore in the too hard basket? I understand the menus are taking all events, but why?
