[BUG]v1.3.5 - Taking screenshots

[cothyso]

There are some problems regarding taking screenshots in FoG. I've discovered this quite a while ago, but in the mean time it became a real nuissance, as I've started make AARs and tutorials.

As reported before, my laptop is an Acer Aspire 5740G with an ATI Radeon Mobility 5470 (500 MB VRAM), Intel Core i3 330M processor and 4GB RAM. The graphic drivers are the latest version, ATI Catalyst 10.7 64 bits version. The operating system is a Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bits.

The problem is that each time I want to make a screenshot, I have to do it twice (Print + Alt-Tab + Paste and again Print + Alt-Tab + Paste) which is very annoying.

a) Starting the game, entering in Main Menu -> Main Menu on the screen

- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> black screen
- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> Main Menu screen (as it should from the first try)

b) press the Nem Game button -> New Game pop up appears

- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> Main Menu screen (previous screenshot)
- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> New Game popup (as it should from the first try)

c) start the game

- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> black screen
- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> Agincourt scenario's terrain + troops on starting position (as it should from the first try)

d) move a BG

- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> Agincourt scenario's terrain + troops on starting position (previous screenshot)
- press Print Screen + paste into Microsoft Paint -> Agincourt scenario's terrain + moved BG (as it should from the first try)

This happens ALL the time.

Pressing Print Screen more than once before going to the Pinat and paste doesn't modify anything. It is really annoying that for every screenshot you want to make, you have to do it twice to get a proper screenshot. When you are making 1 screenshot, it is not a big deal, when you are doing 20, it gets down on your nerves.

Has anyone else seen this type of thing when posting screenshots? Would be good to know if there is a pattern.

For what it's worth, I've always found that alt+PrintScrn has worked for screenshots for me. That's with ATI graphics on one laptop and with NVidia on the other.
