This affects me too.

Some googling brought me to this old article and Launchpad bug:
http://ubuntuguide.net/fix-altprint-screen-current-window-screenshot-not-working-in-ubuntu-10-10
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/642792

Disabling the "Magic SysRq Key" as suggested in the linked article seems to have fixed the issue for me:
    
    $ sudo sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0

However Shift+Print Screen to take a screenshot of selected area still
doesn't work at all for me but that may be another bug.

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.
