gnome-screenshot does not grab active window

Binary package hint: gnome-utils

Xubuntu 10.10 gnome-screenshot --interactive does not grab the active window - the take screenshot window disappears and nothing happens. Grabbing the whole desktop or an area works.

Actually I found that the current Lucid gnome-screenshot also does not grab the active window. But I remember for sure that it did before.

I just found that the problem is related to the grab delay being 0 seconds, with 1 seconds the active window is grabbed alright.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!

Ubuntu 10.04 has the same effect with gnome-screenshot. Grabbing active window does not work if delay 0 seconds.
