Sometimes I want to take screenshots from IntelliJ based IDEs like IntelliJ itself or Rider but when the IDE has a context menu opened, I can't take a screenshot on Linux - neither using PrtScr nor using tools like Flameshot.

This happens on Xubuntu 22.04 with latest versions of IntelliJ and Rider for example.

I couldn't reproduce this in Ubuntu 22.04. What happens when you try to take a screenshot?

Is it an Xfce desktop? Does this app work?

Yes, it’s Xfce. xfce-screenshooter is the default screenshot app on Xubuntu. It doesn’t work. Can reproduce on two machines.
