Bug description:
Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config
On an EN-GB keyboard (and maybe others) ALT+PrtSc is the default
keyboard shortcut for "Take a screenshot of a window" as configured in
System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. However the system
doesn't seem to respond to that keyboard combination at all. Pressing
ALT+PrtSc on a default Maverick install does nothing. Indeed
attempting to _set_ that keyboard shortcut in the Keyboard Shortcuts
dialog results in it not being registered.
Workaround:
sudo sysctl -w kernel.sysrq=0
Steps to reproduce:-
1) Try to screenshot the entire desktop with PrtSc - this works
2) Try to take a screenshot of one active window with ALT+PrtSc - nothing
happens.
Additionally
1) Navigate to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
2) Scroll down to Desktop -> Take a screenshot of a window, and then click
that line in order to set a keyboard shortcut for the action
3) Press ALT+PrtSc - nothing happens
4) Press a different keyboard combination such as CTRL+PrtSc or
Super/Windows+PrtSc - this works
Additionally
1) Open a terminal
2) Run 'xev' and then press ALT+PrtSc. Observe data in the xev terminal
window when ALT is pressed, but nothing for ALT+PrtSc
Seems a fairly critical regression bug given we document this keyboard
shortcut in the help, and it's very commonly used by documenters and
people getting support. It works fine in previous releases.
