Description NeatNit 2024-08-24 14:50:47 UTC
Description:
Using Cinnamon on Linux Mint 22, I can't take a screenshot while the AutoFilter options are open.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate AutoFilter
2. Open the filter dropdown where you can select which values to filter
3. While this window is open, try to take a screenshot using PrintScreen (or Ctrl+Shift+PrintScreen for a rectangle select screenshot)

Actual Results:
Nothing happens

Expected Results:
Screenshot is taken


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
It seems like Calc is doing something very aggressive with this sub-window, placing it on top of every other window and capturing all keyboard input even when it's supposed to be out of focus. You can click on other non-LibreOffice windows while it's open and interact with them using the mouse, but any typing automatically brings focus to the AutoFilter. This is not good behavior.

Opened issue with Cinnamon: https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon/issues/12360 (although I really suspect this is something Calc is specifically blocking, so Cinnamon is behaving correctly)
