@IainB - thanks for the Send to OneNote tip (never knew it was there), sometimes I want to OCR a pop up, also good to have a backstop for SC

Its not Evernote specific, that was just a screen shot I posted on a Mobileread forum months ago that I was able to grab.

But some progress

I was able to get shots of context menu's in File Explorer, Evernote, xplorer2, 1by1, Irfan View, without using a delay. 

I cannot get screen shots of context menus in Outlook 2007 and Word 2007 with or without a delay.  But that doesn't bother me as I've never had any need to do it.

I've discovered that the problem is limited to two applications - calibre book manager, and the sigil epub editor.  The common link between those two applications is that they both use the Qt5 framework.  I think a recent change in SC has triggered something that makes Qt dismiss the context menu, I say this because the version of Sigil I'm using was built back in April.  Qt5 is a fiddelsome thing that often throws up weird incompatibilities .

I'll try the beta version - mean time is there somewhere I can get older versions of SC for testing with calibre and sigil.

Cheers RP

I used to be able to set a delay, hit PrtScr, go to another application (eg file explorer) and right click to bring up a context menu, and when the screen shot was 'snapped' it would capture the context menu. 

Now when the screen shot capture kicks in (after the delay) the context menu is 'disappeared' before the screenshot is 'snapped'

This is the main reason I have this program (screen shots of context menus), most of the time the screen capture built into Windows is adequate
