Bug Description
When using the Print Screen key to capture a screen shot of the desktop, if the key is pressed for too long then a zillion instances of the Screenshot popup appear with a resulting slow down in system response. I realize that this is probably caused by keyboard auto-repeat, but because there is no feedback when the Print Screen key is pressed it is hard to tell (especially for inexperienced folks like my 80-something Dad) that something is happening. It would be nice to have feedback (audio?) and possibly to latch the state so that only one popup appears. This occurs on a DELL Inspiron 1200 and a DELL Inspiron 1525 using an up-to-date version of Intrepid (8.10).
