Hi!
I often use ImageMagick import to take a snapshot of part of my screen, such as a particular image. With previous installations, at least up to openSUSE 15.2, 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 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 cumbersome 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.
I tested this with two desktop environments, LXDE and TDE. The problem also occurs if I use ksnaphot included in TDE, so it may be unrelated to ImageMagick but rather a general problem with taking screen snapshots.
I would be happy to hear if anybody has encountered a similar problem or knows a solution.
Thanks!
