With bug 10905 fix, and the fix overall being that the menus are closed when a hotkey is pressed. So this bug is still valid, if there is a fix else where and they start seeing the menu close, take a look at bug 10905. Shouldn't be to hard to ignore the print screen button if a fix lands anywhere else.

When i click on say, the System menu in the gnome-panel, it just doesn't work anymore. 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-utils/+bug/29894/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
