Secondary monitors screen is not captured entirely
« on: December 18, 2023, 10:42 AM »
Hi,

I have a problem capturing my secondary monitors screen. Monitor "2" is my primary display, "1" is the secondary (see screenshot of Windows 11 "System > Display" settings).
When I "grab the entire workspace" the grabbed area on the secondary monitor ("1") is too small (see red rectangle in screenshot).
When I "grab selectied region" I cannot move the mouse outside the red rectangle.

Monitor 1:
- Scale 100%
Resolution: 5120x1440

Monitor 2:
- Scale 150%
Resolution: 3840x2160

I have a similar issue with scaling: I have *3* monitors, two side-by-side (primary & secondary) at 100% scaling, and a third above them that I normally run at 125%. When doing a capture of a region, the 125% can capture with fidelity, but the other two displays have their "as displayed" view scaled to 125%, cutting off the lower & side portions. It's like Screen Captor is telling Windows to statically grab the entire workspace, then displaying that across the three displays as a single 125%-scaled image. When I switch the third display to 100%, everything works as expected.
