Do I understand you right, are you trying to take the screen shot by pressing Onboard's "Prnt" key? If so, then releasing the shift key (or any latched modifier) is expected, this is just how Onboard works. You'd have to lock the key, i.e. press it twice to make it stick.
However, you can catch Onboard in any state by taking a delayed screen shot. Run the "Screenshot" application, set "Grab after a delay of" to 10 seconds, click "Take Screenshot", adjust Onboard to your liking and wait. The same from the command line would be "gnome-screenshot -d 10". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to onboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1036543 Title: screen shot from the onboard keyboard layout shift state in Ubuntu 12.04 not possible Status in “onboard” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I tried to make a screen shot from the onboard keyboard layout shift state in Ubuntu 12.04. But this is not possible. Every time I'm making the screen shot the onboard keyboard layout automatically switches back to the normal state. Thus I only get a screen shot only from onboard keyboard normal state To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/1036543/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
