when HUD is installed, can not take screenshot of window with Alt+PrtSrc

[Robert Roth]

With ubuntu HUD installed, I can not take a screenshot of the focused window with the Alt+PrtSrc, as probably HUD gets the alt, so the screenshot tool takes Alt+PrtSrc as if only PrtSrc would have been pressed

Pressing alt+print twice opens screenshot ui and leaves HUD. Other selected shortcuts are ignored by HUD.
As workaround to view screenshot ui using interactive mode via ccsm. (bug 927952)
I wouldn't consider interference with essential shortcuts as low. Introduction of more and more new shortcuts which in case interfere with system or custom shortcuts upsets users which is the last what a LTS needs.

Well I got duped to this with a slightly differing bug & at least here this isn't true. Alt+print works fine, it just opens Hud after completing
As soon as the print key is released the screenshot is taken, then Hud open
This behavior was seen on a 5 day old install & currently is on a new install with today's image

Also can be seen from a live session with today's image, may be worth someone else checking
(if you change or disable Hud's "Alt" keybinding then Alt+print will no longer work, but that's not this bug.

In my case the screenshot is taken only when the Alt is released. At that point hud opens, focusing on itself, screenshot is taken of the whole screen.

the remaining issue is bug 937036

I linked Unity 2D where this problem still remains. As a workaround, Shift+PrtScrn can be used to approximately select the desired window area to grab.
