Bug Description
On ubuntu we have a handy shortcut to take screenshots then select the
are to grab. By default the shortcut is assigned to shift+print (Prt
Scrn key on the keyboard). If I go into Google Chrome, open the options
panel (the 3 little vertical dots), then go into "Help", and hover my
cursor over the side panel that opens, then use the shift+print shortcut
to take a screenshot, my system does something similar to a freeze. I
can use the keyboard, but I cant click UI elements with the mouse, for
example I can't click the top bar, the sidebar, so I can't do anything,
I'm stuck. My only option is to open the console and to log out manually
with a command, then everything is back to normal.
-----
Steps to reproduce
Open Google Chrome. Click on the settings tab (the 3 vertical dots).
Click on "Help". Hover the cursor above "Help Center". Press
shift+print.
