Public bug reported: To Reproduce: 1. Click on the title bar of any open window so that it is on top. 2. Press PrScrn while holding the left Alt key.
Expected: The 'Save Screenshot' dialog pops up. Actually: When left Alt key is pressed, HUD always pops up and makes it impossible to take that screenshot. The default keyboard shortcut to HUD is set as 'Alt L', and 'Take screenshot of a window' as 'Alt + Print'. And HUD doesn't wait for a key-releasing before it pops, which basically disables every combination with the left Alt key. After disabling the shortcut to HUD, screenshot taking works fine. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Release: 14.04 $ apt-cache policy gnome-control-center gnome-control-center: Installed: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56 Candidate: 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56 Version table: *** 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu56 0 500 http://mirrors.aliyun.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status This problem has been there for a long time.
