[Bug 1858442] [NEW] print screen button not registering in firefox

[Ovidiu Alexa]

Public bug reported:

Open Firefox.
Add a breakpoint to a JavaScript code that listens to keydown or keyup and log the results.
Press the Scroll Button and you can see a log
Press the Pause button and you can see a log
Press the Prnt or PrtSc or Print Screen Button and you can see a white flash but no log result in the console.

The same happens in Chrome and Chromium

Works great on Ubuntu 16.

I didn't know what package to set this bug to so I had the onscreen
keyboard package. This reproduces on a physical keyboard as well as the
on screen keyboard.


Please help with solving this problem. If the answer involves changing the print screen button shortcut option to another key or do nothing, then this is not an option. This should work out of the box.

Thank you.
