Sorry for necroing such an old bug, but it seems to have come back in Ubuntu 18.04
When switching from the now default Gnome Shell to Unity, any combination of pressing and releasing ALT and PrtScn gives me, at best, the HUD screenshot. In Gnome it works fine. By the way, I didn't have this issue in 12.04. maybe 14.04 or 13.10 fixes were backported or I had already apllied another fix/workaround? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-screenshot in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1072199 Title: Alt+Print Screen only takes picture of the HUD Status in One Hundred Papercuts: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu Kylin: Fix Released Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in gnome-screenshot package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: According to Ubuntu Desktop Guide (see attached screenshot of the Ubuntu Desktop Guide) pressing "Alt+Print Screen" should take a screenshot of a window.
