Version: 0.8.1 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources This is SVN 794641 as packaged in Debian sid/experimental To reproduce: Start ksnapshot, click Region mode, no delay. Click new snapshot. When the screen for selecting a region comes up, press alt-tab (or whatever your key combo is for switching windows, I did this by accident many many times). The selection region remains on the screen, and you can still drag and select a region as normal, however neither Enter or Esc works, so you can't accept the selection or cancel. The only way to get out of this is to CTRL-ALT-FX to another terminal and killall ksnapshot. There is no way to escape from the region selection mode otherwise.
Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ? Thanks :)
Still valid in 4.1.3. Dario: While I appreciate your attempt to clear out old reports, you should at least try to reproduce on your machine and report the results here instead of just posting a reminder to recheck with no evidence that anything has changed.
@Leo: Yes, I know about that. Sometimes I do the checking in my own system, but, sometimes I don't have the time to test it or I don't have the apps compiled. Anyway, sometimes bugs are fixed when fixing another bugs, or may be the developer noticed the same bug and then he fixed it without even knowing there was a bug report about it (this bug report had not a reply in 8 months (I realize that the bug tracker needed some love)). Anyway, I'm sorry for bothering. I'm going to compile the latest kdegraphics in 4.2 trunk and see if this is happening in the SVN version too. :)
np. Just tested in 4.1.85+svn899359 (debian packages) and this bug still applies
This bug is present here using: Qt: 4.4.3 KDE: 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221)) kdelibs svn rev. 900437 / kdebase svn rev. 900437 kdegraphics svn rev. 900471 on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.8 Just as a workaround you can double click on the selection rectangle ("region") of the screenshot. KSnapshot should prevent Alt+Tab stealing its focus when editing and selecting a region in the screenshot
I just submitted a patch for this hopefully it will be accepted.The reason is due to a X11 window flag being set that doesn't handle input when the focus is lost.
Still applies in 4.3RC2. That patch didn't get in I take it?
Where the patch was sent to ?

I'm not able to reproduce this bug using current trunk: when I press ALT+TAB (before, while and after selecting a region), nothing strange happens.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you!
