I'm also getting this issue in Oneiric, which I just checked out after seeing http://askubuntu.com/questions/72208/print-screen-key-doesnt- work-if-a-drop-down-menu-is-active . Interesting to note is that the Print Screen key works if menus on the top panel in GNOME Shell are open. I haven't checked to see whether this is a problem with Unity yet, though.
I also just took a look at the upstream bug out of curiosity, and I don't see any attention paid to it for over 2 years now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/29894 Title: can't take screenshot when menu on panel is opened To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-utils/+bug/29894/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
