You call it a "bug".  I believe the change was an undesirable
but unavoidable side-effect of fixing another problem.  In particular,
I believe GetNextEvent will not call an FKEY while there is data
being saved under the menu.

Apple has distributed an Installer patch (which I can't lay
my hands on at the minute) to provide the capability you want,
but note that they do not recommend you use it on a standard system
disk, and NEVER on a hard disk.

All in all, since Camera does a reasonable job I don't think it's
worth getting worked up about.  I did all the snapshots for my book
using Camera.
