Hi all,
having a problem in F25: I need to take a screenshot on a gnome (or other) desktop (no wayland!) with alt+print or shift+print keys, during some application menu of some window is open, but nothing happens. How can I achive this? The menu should be included in the screenshot. The screenshot is performed flawlessly if the menu is closed.
It seems that this is a X11 problem.
All comments are welcome.
Kind regards
Joachim Backes

Could solve the problem with gnome-screenshot and a delay value > 0

Hi, did You Try "Aktivitaeten" - "Hilfsprogramme" - "Bildschirmfoto" and set the time to take the screenshot to some seconds, or longer. I don't know if this is helpful and working in Your situation, or a silly idea. If this screenshot is not blocked by the behaviour You described. Kind regards

Hi Joachim, While this might be a different direction then your original question: I enjoy using the software shutter for creating screenshots. Maybe using shutter would be a successful alternative software and workflow for you.

It's always been that way, I think. I do what Joerg does: just run the screenshot app and use the delay feature.
