When trying to capture an area of the screen; specifically a Firefox extension; the context menu disappears when I press Ctrl-Shift-PrintScreen

I am trying to write a little guide for some workmates, this is making it very difficult.

    Testing on my own computer, one workaround appears to be to use unmodified PrintScreen, leaving a hand free for the mouse, and quickly right-click for the context menu after the keypress but before the Save pop-up appears.

    A PITA to be sure, but it does capture the context menu.

    As for cropping down a full-screen capture, I tend to use PhotoFlare for jobs like that (find it in Software Manager) assuming you haven’t anything else installed that does the job.
