[not a BUG]Screenshot w/print screen works only when holding

It may have something to do with windows intercepting the key press to copy to clipboard, but if you tap print screen quickly, without holding it down, for about 200 ms, nothing happens. You have to hold it down untill the key repeats and then it will say SCREENSHOT saved to doomxxx.bmp. I am running Windows XP SP 2 and GZDoom in windowed mode.

I handle a key event when I receive notification. If the key isn't handled it means I don't get the notification. I never had any problems with this. Maybe your key is broken.

I just tried it outside zdoom, just tapping it and it worked, it may have something to do with windows intercepting the first printscreen press, but if you dont experince it then you really can't do anything about it.

No idea. For me it works if I hit it for such a short time.
