Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
On an EN-GB keyboard (and maybe others) ALT+PrtSc is the default
keyboard shortcut for "Take a screenshot of a window" as configured in
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. However the system doesn't
seem to respond to that keyboard combination at all. Pressing ALT+PrtSc
on a default Maverick install does nothing. Indeed attempting to _set_
that keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog results in it
not being registered.
Steps to reproduce:-
1) Try to screenshot the entire desktop with PrtSc - this works
2) Try to take a screenshot of one active window with ALT+PrtSc - nothing
happens.
Additionally
1) Navigate to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
2) Scroll down to Desktop -> Take a screenshot of a window, and then click that
line in order to set a keyboard shortcut for the action
3) Press ALT+PrtSc - nothing happens
4) Press a different keyboard combination such as CTRL+PrtSc or
Super/Windows+PrtSc - this works
Additionally
1) Open a terminal
2) Run 'xev' and then press ALT+PrtSc. Observe data in the xev terminal window
when ALT is pressed, but nothing for ALT+PrtSc
Seems a fairly critical regression bug given we document this keyboard shortcut
in the help, and it's very commonly used by documenters and people getting
support. It works fine in previous releases.
