How to take a screenshot of a whole desktop with app menu selection?

I recently wanted to take a screen shot of a nautilus menu to provide an image to the answer of a nautilus related question. (I was looking for it).

But when I opened up the menu and press the prtsrc key, nothing happened. I have also tried Shift+PrtSrc Key and Alt+PrtScr key. Result was the same.

My question is : Is is not possible not take a screenshot while you have a menu open?. Is it bug or not?

Note: To test this, just right-click on the desktop, and press prtsrc key.
