The problem is when you press PrintScreen, a command is executed ('gnome-screenshot'). When this command is invoked, is like the control where the mouse pointer is over looses focus, and the tooltip disappear. A workaround to take screenshots with tooltips is to invoke gnome-screenshot with delay. The delay gives you time to make the tooltip reappears. A way to do this is going to "Applications/Accessories/Take Screenshot" and setting some delay.
Is there any way to make PrintScreen key calls 'gnome-screenshot' in a sort of background to avoid losing focus? -- Print Screen does not capture tooltips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/194315 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-utils in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
