bug in capturing modal dialogs in Windows 11
« on: March 07, 2023, 12:39 PM »
Hallo, I have a problem with capturing modal dialogs in Windows 11.
It always captures also few extra pixels on the left, bottom and right side.

I tried to capture the whole screen and let Screenshot Captor pre-select the active dialog (nice feature by the way), and it does the same. It also selects the extra part around the dialog.
Is there some setting that I can use to get rid of it?
Thanks
Petr

I've experienced the same in Win10, would be curious if there is a solution.

Check out the Window Capturing 1 and 2 option panels (after enabling the settings there on the Miscellaneous Tweaks page: 'Enable aero window capturing options even on Win8/Win10'), there may be tweaks that might help in resolving this issue.
