Bug Description
I have Ubuntu 9.04 configured in a multi-monitor Xinerama setup of a centre monitor 1600x1200 and two smaller monitors 1280x1024 on either side i.e. different resolutions across the screens.
In Ubuntu 9.04 gnome-screenshot now black/blanks-out the top 210 pixels of any screenshot I take of an individual window (i.e. Alt-Printscreen) regardless of which monitor I take it on. The number of pixels blanked out seems dependent on the difference in the y-offset across the screens as configured in xorg.conf. Taking a screenshot of the whole desktop works properly. The problem did not occur at all in Ubuntu 8.10.
Here's the relevant extract from my xorg.conf:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "ScreenCentre" 1280 0
Screen 1 "ScreenLeft" 0 210
Screen 2 "ScreenRight" 2880 210
Option "Xinerama" "On"
EndSection
Note that the left and right monitors are slightly lower on my desk than the centre monitor so I've set their y-offsets in xorg.conf to 210 pixels (from what otherwise should be 1200-1024=176 pixels) so that when I drag windows between monitors the widows appear at the same level.
I'll attach a screenshot of the whole desktop to illustrate the xorg offsets, and screenshots of individual windows which illustrate the problem.
STATUS UPDATE: what's left to be done is the lucid SRU, thank you.
