Look at this screenshot: https://bug-attachments.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=120654 It is a screenshot taken with a Menu open in LibreOffice Writer. When I try to do the same thing using the keyboard button PrntScr (or ALT+PrntScr), nothing happens. I checked with Firefox and there PrntScr works nicely
Can't reproduce . I can print screen all application i want with menu open without problem. how ? i hit PrintScreen kb touch, select all "active window" set time to 3 second (select mouse cursor or not) and that's it. I open the menu... and click in the box.
Did you use the keyboard button PrntScr (or ALT+PrntScr)? I don't see the 3 second timer. Are we using the same program? Xfce4-screenshooter
$:xfce4-screenshooter -V $:xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2 >>Are we using the same program? Xfce4-screenshooter yep !
This bug can be reproduced when xfce4-menu and xfdesktop context menu are open. I think that they grab the keyboard because some context menus simple disappear when screenshooter's shortcut is pressed. This seems to be more related to how xfsettingsd handles global shortcuts.
Hi, I can reproduce it, same dysfunction. If I want to screenshot thunar with a menu open, I must first launch xfce screeshot software and set up a delay. xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2
... I confirm Andre Miranda, dysfonction with thunar , terminal, With thunderbird : keypress is processed, but the keypress action made menu to close, so the screenshot picture doesn't menu open capture... The best way seems the delay use.
Unfortunately it's a problem related to xfsettingsd, X11 or gtk/gdk, but I'm not 100% sure, this requires a bit of investigation, that's why I left this bug open.
Now that I have introduced the delay for selection a region mode (currently in master, to be available in 1.9.3), hopefully it's now easier to workaround this limitation.
Closing since it's nothing to be fixed from xfce4-screenshooter side, it's a GTK/X11 issue. More details: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/347337/why-keyboard-shortcuts-do-not-work-when-a-sub-menu-is-activated
