screen capture obtained with "import" instead of spectacle, to grab the
dropdown
SUMMARY
attempting to capture a dropdown menu in Gvim to attach a screenshot to an
email to tell a friend about this new feature I just added and cannot for the
life of me figure out how to get Spectacle to allow me to grab the screen while
a dropdown menu is active in the frontmost app
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open Gvim in any configuration that shows the menu bar
2. pull a dropdown menu from the menu bar that has a submenu , and navigate to
the submenu
3. press (or try to) META-SHIFT-S to open spectacle (nothing happens)
4. open spectacle separately, set a delay option, then press Meta-Shift-S and
race to pull down the drop down menu, and then at THAT point, also attempt a
screengrab (partial or full screen)
OBSERVED RESULT
Failed to take screenshot in any way shape or form
EXPECTED RESULT
screenshot showing dropdown menu as in the attached
