Description Michael Compton 2010-10-02 00:07:36 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

When the "print screen" key is pressed and accidently held for more than a split second hundreds of instances of ksnapshot are opened. There is no way to stop this behavior and me being clumsy (it would seem) I am constantly getting my screen full of ksnapshot instances. Yes, I can work around it by removing the "print screen" key from my keyboard or remapping things to a more complexed key combination but that is just a work-a-round. It (I would think) should be painfully obvious that no one needs 100 instances of ksnapshot opening simultaneously.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
hold down the "print screen" key for more than an instant.

Actual Results:  
Hundreds of instances of ksnapshot are opened.

Expected Results:  
One instance of ksnapshot is opened and the rest of the repetes are ignored as it seems obvious that it has been user error to have inadvertently held the key down too long.

This is a useability issue not an actual software bug.
