Have the latest version.
Double checked to make sure that section of the .ini was deleted.
Here's the shot-

Ok, thanks for your patience.
I've uploaded a new version -- can you give that a try and give me another screenshot?
And also let me know what Operating System you are using.

Ok the width is fixed, thats good and the important thing.
I haven't the slightest idea why your form is so tall -- on my windows 7 test i reproduced your width problem when i set the text size larger, but i can't for the life of me get the height problem to reproduce -- the form is normal height on my windows 7 test machine with large text settings..

Actually, can you re-download yet again and see if the height is fixed now?

You mean the difference between the mini buttons and the others, like settings and capture?
Post a shot of yours if you want to. I've been using greenshot for some of these, like the QCB.

"Actually, can you re-download yet again and see if the height is fixed now?" Yes

That's more like it :)

Thanks for the patience and the testing, I appreciate it.  Now we can get to tracking down the *real* bugs  :P

Downloaded portable (*.zip) version of v3.21.01. I have been using v3.08.01 for quite some time. Noticed a couple of issues:

1) Settings for Highlighting Rectangle and Text Object not saved between reboots. This was an issue for me in v3.08.01, so I don't think it's related to any recent changes. Settings are saved within a given session, and also saved if I exit and restart SCC, just not saved between reboots of Windows.

2) Filename Template %quickfield% Screenshot - %customdate% %num%, where %customdate% is set to: %Y_%m%d. The first capture does not contain the %num% value in the filename, shows blank (e.g. Screenshot - 2013_0305 .png). Subsequent captures numbered 002, 003, 004, etc. (e.g. Screenshot - 2013_0305 002.png). I expected the first capture to have filename Screenshot - 2013_0305 001.png.

3) Navigating hierarchy in Preferences dialog using arrow keys - Pressing down arrow moves down the list and jumps across sections, as expected. Using the up arrow key moves up, but will not jump across sections. I expected to be able to arrow up between sections. Also, left arrow jumps to the top of list within the section, but does not collapse a section. Expected that using left arrow would highlight the section header and second left arrow would collapse the section. Then arrow up would move cursor to bottom of the prior section. I expected the navigation to work like Windows Explorer.

Other than these, I don't notice any other issues or regressions.

I noticed that some recent changes i made to the options form in the way it displayed when main form was not visible were causing some problems with some options editing, so i've uploaded a new version with an attempt to fix that.

bubba:
1. i hope this is just a fluke - SC should be remembering all settings now even across reboots.  Might be on reboot it ran your old install of screenshot captor?

2. %num% tries to replace to a blank string unless it NEEDS to use a number; you can force use of starting value of 001 by using %num0%

3. i'll have a look.

The Window-title doesn't show the actual directory selected in the browser on the left, as would be expected (by me at least :))

The previous bug of adding a caption and then performing a vertical splice still leaves the caption full sized.
Undoing the changes leaves the image a bit messed up

Same thing is happening with cropping the shot after adding a caption, either in the post capture dialog or using SC's editor.
It seems to open in other editors correctly, sometimes, with the different saves-save, save as new version, and save as. It will work consistently by flattening the shot.
It is still easy to work with as is though.

But I think mouser is going to try to fix it. (sorry mouser)
As you may know by reading this thread.

The solution to the caption object being too wide after performing a vertical splice is to not perform a vertical splice after adding a caption. That's a first world problem in the Screenshot Captor universe.  :P

It seems to be working now without clicking any save buttons, I don't know why.
Inside of SC it still shows the full caption bar, opening the shot in any other editor shows the correct cropped shot.

I agree, it will work like that.

I'm confused as to what you are saying -- the SC window title shows the directory you are currently in or the full path to the current file.  Doesn't it? Shouldn't it?

It does not for me. I switch to say OLDER and it still says the screenshot path and I click on a file and it doesn't load either.  I switch back to the main one and it loads as well.

ok i see what you mean, changing directories by double clicking folders in the thumbnail panel is no longer actually changing the directory that SC thinks it is in.
