Screenshot Captor / Re: SC inconsistent behaviour when capturing a "blank" window.
« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2015, 03:48 PM »When you ask SC to capture the active window (Alt+PrtScr) instead of the whole screen or select a region, it tries to use an elaborate mechanism to capture semi-transparent border areas found in newer version of windows; this is how SC can nicely capture curved corners on windows. That process causes a flash of black and white behind windows when you do such captures.
There may be some apps which for some reason don't react well to such attempts -- i can't say for sure why, though it may be because they dont respond to repaint messages.
Anyway, one fix is simply to capture the entire screen and then crop from within SC, which should have already selected the active window region so you only have to press crop button.
The other alternative is to tell SC to not try to capture transparency for windows (see Widow Capturing tabs in options). This will have the benefit of making active window captures faster.
Let me know if that solves your problem.
