Do I understand you right, are you trying to take the screen shot by pressing Onboard's "Prnt" key? If so, then releasing the shift key (or any latched modifier) is expected, this is just how Onboard works. You'd have to lock the key, i.e. press it twice to make it stick.
However, you can catch Onboard in any state by taking a delayed screen shot. Run the "Screenshot" application, set "Grab after a delay of" to 10 seconds, click "Take Screenshot", adjust Onboard to your liking and wait. The same from the command line would be "gnome-screenshot -d 10". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036543 Title: screen shot from the onboard keyboard layout shift state in Ubuntu 12.04 not possible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1036543/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
