GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 419676
gnome-screenshot should not take a screenie of itself
Last modified: 2011-06-13 20:58:28 UTC
Please describe the problem: I took screenies with gnome-screenshot (via menu where it is set to "gnome-screenshot --interactive") and in the resulting screenies there is also gnome-screenshot shown itself. see this screenies as examples: http://librarian.launchpad.net/6848943/screenie.jpg http://librarian.launchpad.net/6850759/Bildschirmfoto.jpg this does not happen with "ksnapshot" Steps to reproduce: 1. take a screenie with gnome-screenshot --interactive, started from menu 2. 3. Actual results: see above screenies Expected results: not to see the gnome-screenshot window in taken screenies Does this happen every time? not allways. i also had some screenies that looked as expected. as from my own testing, it seems to happen more often when gnome-screenshot is started from menu, instead started from cli it seems to work (as tested now, took several screenies with both) even when started from cli with gnome-screenshot --interactive i had no "bad" screenie now Other information: This has been reported in ubuntu before as: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/93234
this bug is directly connected with this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=434585
I get the same thing on my system. I'm setting the status of this bug to new. Though it might be connected to bug 434585, it seems to be a separate issue and thus deserve a bug of its own. Thanks Thilo!
Yeah, I believe this is fixed now.
