Public bug reported:

Taking a screenshot with gnome-screenshot by pressing the "PrintScreen"
key does not work when an application menu is open.

Steps to reproduce:

1.- Take a screenshot of your desktop by pressing "PrintScreen". The
screenshot is taken.

2.- Press ALT+F1 to open the Applications menu. Press the "PrintScreen"
key to take a screenshot. Result: the screenshot is not taken. Expected:
the screenshot should have been taken.

The only workaround for this is to execute gnome-screenshot from the
comment line specifying the --delay option:

  gnome-screenshot --delay=10

Only that will let you take a screenshot when a menu is active.

** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
