Description Sebastien Bacher 2009-04-22 13:08:13 UTC 
the bug has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/335432

"Click "Grab the current window"
Click on Firefox 3.0.6 to focus it (can reproduce with any window though, like a terminal)
Click on the Take Screenshot button (the window is not behind anything so I can click straight on the button)

Whole-window screenshots are always fine, and it doesn't crash if I uncheck the "Window border" checkbox... but I've noticed that if I do that, it doesn't actually take a screenshot of the Firefox window, it takes a shot of the top left 296x284 px of the screen. It is given the filename Screenshot-Untitled Window.png.

I can reproduce it by clicking "Grab the current window" and clicking Take Screenshot button (without changing window).

the issue seems to be a sort of race, when gnome-screenshot is not focussed and you click it doesn't get an active dialog to grab sometimes
