Bug: Screenshot Captor switches into different resolution during screenshot

(1/6) > >>

Flamacue:
I use SC on a laptop with an external wide screen in resolution 3440 x 1440. When I undock my laptop and dock back in, in about 50% of cases this causes SC to no longer properly recognize the screen size to capture. When I capture a screen full screen or with the region select tool, the screen switches into an "interpolated" higher resolution of 4300 x 1800 which causes the actual content to be shrinked (and consequently blurred) and a large white border to appear at the bottom and the right side. Please see the attached screenshot.

Bug: Screenshot Captor switches into different resolution during screenshot

Restarting SC does not help, only a restart of the computer helps temporarily. Has anyone seen the same issue? What can be done about it?

I have been a happy user of Screenshot Captor for many years but this bug may now finally make me look for an alternative.

Thank you

Are you using the very latest version?
And is your video graphics adapter updated to it's latest version?

mouser:
Can you see if other screenshot apps suffer the same problem?  I would not be surprised if they do?

Here is another thing to test:

Wait until the problem shows itself again -- try going into your screen resolution options manually and changing the resolution to anything, and hit Apply.  Then change them back.  See if SC works properly and recognizes the correct resolution.   If so, then there may be a simpler fix that could automatically apply a temporary resolution change that will force windows to properly broadcast the new resolution to running programs.

I use the latest version of SC, and the drivers of my graphic adapter are up to date.

Other screenshot apps (just tried Snipping Tool) do not suffer from the same issue.

I changed the screen resolution as per your suggestion but this didn't improve the situation.

What else could be done?

Cheers,
Christian

That is very surprising to me.. I'm at a bit of a loss to explain how that could happen.

To confirm -- you are saying that SC works fine except sometimes when your laptop docks and undocks -- and that when this malfunction happens, even exiting and restarting SC doesn't help, and other screenshot tools are not effected by this problem..

Can anyone else say whether they have seen such a problem?
