           Summary: Accidental holding of the print-screen key opens
                    hundreds of instances of ksnapshot.
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mc1784937 at compton-networks.org


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

When the "print screen" key is pressed and accidently held for more than a
split second hundreds of instances of ksnapshot are opened. There is no way to
stop this behavior and me being clumsy (it would seem) I am constantly getting
my screen full of ksnapshot instances. Yes, I can work around it by removing
the "print screen" key from my keyboard or remapping things to a more complexed
key combination but that is just a work-a-round. It (I would think) should be
painfully obvious that no one needs 100 instances of ksnapshot opening
simultaneously.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
hold down the "print screen" key for more than an instant.

Actual Results:  
Hundreds of instances of ksnapshot are opened.

Expected Results:  
One instance of ksnapshot is opened and the rest of the repetes are ignored as
it seems obvious that it has been user error to have inadvertently held the key
down too long.

This is a useability issue not an actual software bug.
