Bug Description

In the help under "Taking Screenshots", which is under "Introduction to the Desktop" it says:

Alt+Print Screen
                Takes a screenshot of the window to which the mouse points.

This isn't true (unless you're using focus follows mouse). Rather, it takes a screenshot of the window that has input focus.
