Can't take screenshot with Printscreen while drop-down box (select input field) is open in Firefox

[Ketil]

Binary package hint: yelp

I wanted to grab a screenshot of a webpage with a select input open. The PRTSC (print screen) button did not work as expected when the drop-down box was selected and showing the options. As soon as I closed the drop-down box, the print screen button worked as expected and grabbed a screenshot.

This seemed to me to be a very unnatural dependency, and makes no sense whatsoever from a user perspective.
