Yeah... Thanks, that's what I'd been doing, trouble is I seem to forget I need to do it - resulting in a few choice words :) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385357 Nate Graham changed: What|Removed |Added CC||pointedst...@zoho.com Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |UPSTREAM --- Comment #1 from Nate Graham --- This is an X11 limitation. In an X11 environment, when a menu is displayed, it grabs all input unconditionally. This also blocks, for example, screen locking. It's simply an architectural limitation of X11, and there's unfortunately nothing we can do in that environment. However, this gets fixed for free when using Wayland instead. As a workaround, you can launch Spectacle and configure it to take a new screenshot after a number of seconds, using that time to open the menu you want included in the screenshot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
