By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Luc 2011-02-03 23:08:05 CST

I upgraded my Ubuntu machine to Maverick recently and now I can no longer use the PrintScreen key as a shortcut. I used to have it configured to launch ksnapshot. There should be two ways to achieve that:

1) Open Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Input Actions, create a new action, General tab, Action type: Keyboard shortcut -> Command/URL (simple), type in whatever name desired, configure the PrintScreen key as the shortcut, type in /opt/kde3/bin/ksnapshot in the Command/URL to execute field.

None of these is working, ksnapshot does not launch. The problem is in the PrintScreen key. Other key combinations will work, e.g. Ctrl+h or Alt+F9.

Confirmed again. Still in R14 dev on 4/18/12.

Confirmed in GIT (2013-05-22).

The PrintScreen key will work when assigned to ksnapshot, but I noticed the key has to be pressed twice before ksnapshot opens.
