On 11.10, I don't get a screengrab when pressing the Print Screen button on my keyboard if I have activated a drop down menu. For example, in nautilus, I can click the File menu and press the print screen button, nothing happens. Deactivating the drop down menu and all other things being equal, it works. Is that normal? Often when using this thing I'm actually needing to show some of those menu options.

Currently I use the workaround to grab after a delay of a few seconds, but I'm used to the print screen button working no matter what's in focus and would prefer it that way.

and what about shutter it will work without a problem, but you need to rebind the print key to shutter

Rebinding the print key:
- open compiz
- go to gnome compatibility enter image description here
- switch to commands tap and in the Screenshot command line Write shutter -f -d 3 this will take a screen-shot after 3 seconds and you can take a screen-shot for you menus or simple ignore the 3 seconds delay and it will also work by this command shutter -f enter image description here
Now you can take a screen-shot to any menu you want, for more options see this.
