It seems the old bug returns. I may see the same issue in 13.10 release. The bug has to be reopened for 13.10 or spawn a new one.
The workaround would be Ctrl-PrtSc/Shift-PrtSc or use Shutter. -- 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" shortcut does not work in Ubuntu Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in “gnome-screenshot” 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.
