Public bug reported:

I've just discovered this bug when I was (desperately) trying to
document an issue in gedit which showed here a certain drop-down menu as
blank, no menu items.

scrot ALWAYS goes on strike when you have hotkey set to PrtSc (for example) and 
you want to document a bug in a window. So in that source window, you would 
show the dropped-down menu, and THEN hit the hotkey for scrot.
Result: Nothing.
You can almost bet your life on it that once you retract the drop-down menu (i. 
e. so that it doesn't show), scrot via hotkey will work fine again.

Proved easily by polling my $HOME for new files. Whenever I hardcopied a
window w/its menu dropped down = no new files.

Would be great if this could be fixed. Unless...it's not a scrot issue
but has to be reported upstream (DE? WM?) No idea where, really.
