Taking a screenshot in GNOME desktop during a pulldown menu is open. How to?

[Joachim Backes]

Hi all,
having a problem: I need to take a screenshot on the gnome desktop (no 
wayland!)with alt+print or shift+print keys, during some pulldown menu 
of some window is opened,  but nothing happens. How can I achive this? 
The pulldown menu should be included in the screenshot. The screenshot 
is performed flawlessly if the pulldown menu is closed.

It seems that this is a X11 problem.

All comments are welcome.

Kind regards

Joachim Backes

Your signature says you have F25. If so, then you're on the wrong list.
Unreleased systems should be discussed on the Fedora Test list.

fyi, should be able set timer using screen shot program in accessories or
some such. This would allow you to set "stage".

Not sure about a GUI screenshot program, but you can call gnome-screenshot from terminal and it has a flag to wait X number of seconds. This would let call it, open the menu, and just wait the second or two after the menu opens for the screenshot to happen.

Cheers!

If you have GIMP installed, File, Create, Screenshot... allows you to
specify a time delay in order to toggle to the screen you want and
activate the menu.
