Bug Description
I can always press the "Print screen" key to take a screenshot of my desktop. When i click on say, the System menu in the gnome-panel, it just doesn't work anymore.
Note: this is in fact only a symptom of bug 10905 that states that no hotkeys/shortcuts whatsoever can be triggered when a menu is open. there seems to be a dispute if that is a bug or an intended design decision. thus bug 10905 and its duplicates always get closed. people seem to agree that not being able to take screenshots is not intended bahavior and considered a bug. thus this report is allowed to stay open :)
a known workaround for taking screenshots of menus is to directly launch the screengrabber with a delay like so:
gnome-screenshot --delay=5

Same issue here. Changing severity to minor, though.
