Description Steven Stern 2011-05-27 15:59:13 UTC
I'd been using Shutter to do screen captures from selected portions of the screen.  The usual method is to use the mouse to draw a rectangle,then press ENTER to grab that selection. The first part works -- I can select a portion of the screen -- but the ENTER is ignored.  I have to use CTRL-ALT-F2 to open a console and kill the shutter process to get control of the Gnome Shell again.

I'd just wanted to confirm that this behaviour was the same that I experienced a few minutes ago. The error exists and is pretty annoying.

Comment 2 Edouard Bourguignon 2011-05-30 08:04:45 UTC
Same probleme here, any news?

Comment 3 Victor Rehorst 2011-06-02 18:56:32 UTC
Same problem here.

Upstream bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/shutter/+bug/705094

In that bug, it is noted that the problem actually lies in the perl-Gtk2 package, and was fixed starting with perl-Gtk2 1.222 (AFAICT).  

F15 ships version 1.203.  Rawhide has 1.223-1.  So I fixed this on my machine by updating the perl-Gtk2 package from rawhide, as in:

# yum --enablerepo=rawhide update perl-Gtk2

Comment 4 Javier Pastor 2011-06-03 17:11:27 UTC
Thanks for your answer Victor, upgrading to the Rawhide package has solved the issue!!

Shutter working fine :)

Comment 7 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 16:49:41 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
