Hotkeys not working when any applet is active.

Bind a screenshot tool to for example print using cinnamon settings->keyboard->shortcuts.
Then open a menu, hover over the window list for a preview or open looking glass.
You won't be able to make screenshots.
This is kind of annoying, I have to call gnome-screenshot with a delay to make screenshots.

Are you sure it's that and not #549?

Edit: Nope, thought this was about my other topic.. This one is absolutely different.

About my other topic, that might be related:
From the topics description I'd say no. I've noticed the need to double tap when using the super key, but that's something I can work with.

Looking at the comments tho, it might be related to the same issue.

Did some digging, and found out why this is done like this in GTK:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100903

This is not avoidable. GTK has to grab the pointer and the keyboard
when  it maps an override-redirect window like a menu or a combo box
dropdown. Otherwise users could e.g. switch desktops using WM
keybindings which is  very annoying, since the override-redirect
windows are effectively sticky - the WM doesn't manage them, thus
doesn't hide them on desktop change.

But this should not affect cinnamon, since we actually know when a workspace is switched and can hide those applets on that event.
