4.9.0 - Cannot "Grab Selected Region"
« on: October 08, 2014, 09:00 PM »
I just installed the latest version.  Try to grab a region.  When I left-click to start the selection an error window pops up that says "Range check error."

Yikes! That's the first I've heard of that.
I have a couple of questions:
  • Is the problem reliably reproducible? (you may have to restart program to reproduce it)
  • If you left click and hold the mouse and drag, same problem?
  • Does it capture non-select-region type screenshots ok?
  • If it doesn't happen on every capture, can you identify any factors that might be unusual when you get the error?

  • It happens every time.
  • It happens on mousedown. In other words, I left click and hold the button down to select a region. As soon as I click, the error pops up.
  • Everything else seems to be working fine.

As soon as I click the button I get the error, whether I hold it down or release it does not matter. I sent you an email.

FWIW, on my system, 4.9.0 does not exhibit that problem — W8.1-64.

Can you check the options on your "Selection Capture Options" tab, and let us know what they are set to?  these in particular:

I think I've tracked this down, if anyone else encounters it.
