** Description changed: I can always press the "Print screen" key to take a screenshot of my desktop. When i click on say, the System menu in the gnome-panel, it just doesn't work anymore. - Using up-to-date dapper. + Note: this is in fact only a symptom of bug 10905 that states that no + hotkeys/shortcuts whatsoever can be triggered when a menu is open. there + seems to be a dispute if that is a bug or an intended design decision. + thus bug 10905 and its duplicates always get closed. people seem to + agree that not being able to take screenshots is not intended bahavior + and considered a bug. thus this report is allowed to stay open :) + + a known workaround for taking screenshots of menus is to directly launch the screengrabber with a delay like so: + gnome-screenshot --delay=5
