Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When trying to take a screenshot from the active window with Alt+PrtScr, nothing happens.

Pressing PrtScr without Alt opens gnome-screenshot with a shot from the whole screen, as expected.

This is reproducible, it happens everytime I try thus preventing me from using this feature.
