Public bug reported:

Since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 Alt+PrintScreen doesn't work on my
computer. I'm using Unity DE, with default settings.

The problem is not about taking screnshots.

xev recognizes when I press down the alt key, but nothing happens when I
press Print Screen with alt being pressed (it does when PrintScreen is
pressed by itself)

Here is evtest output when I press Alt+Printscreen:

# Alt pressed down:
