Dear TDE users list,
This is a problem probably outside of TDE. I often use ImageMagick import to take a snapshot of part of my screen, such as a particular image. With previous installations, up to openSUSE 15.2 (and TDE), I have always been able to enter something like:
import test.ppm
and then either use for example Ctrl+F4 or Alt+Tab to switch to a different desktop or window. However, with openSUSE 15.4 (tested with TDE and LXDE) after entering the command for import the keyboard freezes and I cannot switch desktop or window, neither I can exit import by pressing Ctrl+C. The mouse still works and I can still take a screenshot of whatever is on the screen. However, this makes it more combersome to take a screenshot. The interesting thing is that it seems like whatever I type on the keyboard is "queued" and executed once import exits (by drawing a rectangle with the mouse). So eventually it still switches but only after import is done.
If anybody has encountered this same problem and has a possible solution, I would be glad to hear.
Thanks,
Gianluca
This doesn't specifically address your issue, but maybe there is a TDE solution for this non-TDE problem.
Have you ever tried ksnapshot? I use it all the time, and it is highly configurable. You can take a snapshot of the whole screen, or just a section, and it has other similar features.
