When using the minimized toolbar to grab a selected area, the moment I click on the icon, the screen resolution changes, so the area I want to select is offscreen.

I have a 4K screen, and when I click the toolbar icon, the screen seems to change to a lower resolution, which makes all the screen icons bigger and pushes windows offscreen. The moment I select an area by click-drag, the screen pops back into normal resolution.

Under Win 10, I've set this screen to show 150% text and apps. Please help!

Have you adjusted the Compatibility/ Change High DPI settings, in the shortcut to the executable?
