Bug Description

1. Click on the volume icon in the top right corner to open its menu
2. Press print on your keyboard

I expected it to take a screenshot but it doesn't seem to work if a menu has focus.

Can we somehow work around this issue?

Thank you!

Many context menus grab keyboard input, and therefore block app shortcuts.

Launching "Screenshot" manually from the application menu (or via command line) will allow you to define a delay before capturing.
