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.

    This is what I do, I can't speak for Mint's screenshot tool, but Spectacle for KDE will indeed freeze the whole screen after a set timer - allowing you to open context menus and whatnot. Then on the "frozen" image you can highlight only a specific section of the screen to screenshot, make annotations, etc.

    Spectacle is one of the things I miss the most every time I try out GNOME again for a bit.

      With the MATE screenshot tool, you can set a timer and set it to either capture the active window or the whole desktop. It will capture context menus when using the timer.
