Steps To Reproduce

Alt-tab out and back into the game and hit F12 for a screenshot.

Additional Information

Actually, I'm unable to enter back into the Steam UI after alt-tabbing. Usually you get into the Steam UI by hitting Tab+Shift. It doesn't work after alt-tabbing.

Try a different key for the screenshots? I use the 'insert' key for it and have no problems. F12 is by default used to cycle through AI team units if you have a large AI team (if I remember correctly).

CNR (could not reproduce). I Alt-Tab frequently when playing, to view TeamSpeak player list, etc. etc. Works perfectly for me

Maybe your Alt key is stuck after the Alt-Tab? Happened to me in ArmA 2 (and no keys were working due to Ctrl+F1 becaming Ctrl+Alt+F1 for example)
Can you try explicitly pressing Alt after alt-tabbling and see if that helps?

It's working fine now. Thanks

So this issue was closed as no-bug.
