[Bug 1072199] Re: Alt+Print Screen only takes picture of the HUD

 

Sorry for necroing such an old bug, but it seems to have come back in
Ubuntu 18.04

When switching from the now default Gnome Shell to Unity, any
combination of pressing and releasing ALT and PrtScn gives me, at best,
the HUD screenshot. In Gnome it works fine.

By the way, I didn't have this issue in 12.04. maybe 14.04 or 13.10
fixes were backported or I had already apllied another fix/workaround?

Bug description:
  According to Ubuntu Desktop Guide (see attached screenshot of the
  Ubuntu Desktop Guide) pressing "Alt+Print Screen" should take a
  screenshot of a window.

  However when I press "Alt+Print Screen" it always takes the screenshot
  of the launcher and not of the active window.
