[Bug 1283530] Re: Using alt-printscreen when locally integrated menus is turned on creates undesirable results

 

When I do this I can get a variety of results. If you are quick, you can
make it take a screenshot of the HUD (while it is opening so it has
partial transparency).

In order to reproduce the bug you have to hold alt long enough that it
does not open the HUD - this reveals the LIM. Then press print screen.
The screenshot isn't taken until you release alt, which also causes the
LIM to start fading out.

So this is a race condition, where if the fade out takes longer than
expected, the LIM will appear in the screenshot.

Title:
  Using alt-printscreen when locally integrated menus is turned on
  creates undesirable results

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When using locally integrated menus, creating screenshots of an app
  produces undesirable results.

  Depending on how fast you can perform alt+printscreen, you either see
  only the menu items in the screenshot, or you see a crossfade between
  the window title and the menu items.

  This may be undesirable for anyone trying to create screenshots for
  documentation.
