Description Christian Persch 2008-03-07 17:58:49 UTC 
Steps:
0) Move a window partially out of screen
1) Alt-PrtSc

Actual tesults:
The screenshot only shows the intersection of the focused window with the screen.

Expected results:
The screenshot shows the whole window, including the off-screen parts.

this requires the core offscreen redirection support, from bug 318807.
Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2008-12-19 23:22:21 UTC 
well, actually no: it cannot be fixed even by offscreen redirection because we don't own the window anyway.

it's something that X11 simply does not allow.
