printscreen while displaying manu

I am having issues getting a screen grab while an application menu is showing, Is there a way to get printscreen to work while an application menu is showing?
I don't know if maybe the control keys are either disabled or diverted when a menu has focus or something like that? Any suggestions that don't involve installing another application for grabbing the screen would be great.

We will try to investigate the reason of this issue. At the moment, we can only recommend to install the 'ksnapshot-trinity' package, it's very lightweight and powerful and you can set a delay before screen grab, however we know, you don't prefer such solution.

I would prefer a solution that doesn't use another package but for now I will use 'ksnapshot-trinity' as a workaround, Thank you.

You mean, like this (the attached image)? I did this just by pressing PrintScreen. Seems to work on my netbook.

Now, when I pressed the print screen key, the SeaMonkey menu closed, but not before print-screen captured the image.

Not sure if this helps or not.

You have highlighted something to me that might be significant, I just tested this with the browser (Firefox) and it does the same as yours and manages to grab the picture before the menu disappears, I will have to look at how my app takes focus because when it is showing a menu printscreen does nothing... Thanks for the info though, it points more to something I can put right and hopefully save the dev's having to dig too deep. Thank you.
