Description Steve Daulton 2018-09-05 08:06:34 UTC

When using the "screenshot" command from the "Scriptables II" menu and selecting any of the three "Window" options, the resulting screenshot covers only a small rectangular area rather than the full window.

Also occurs when running the command via AUD-DO.

DEVEL - FIX MADE
https://github.com/audacity/audacity/commit/1ecff6d5db6d3a96d0995f6cf4502b669866e343

One consequence of this change is that the Tools->Screenshot dialog now captures the project window rather than (potentially) some other random top-level dialog.  In light of bug 1598, I do not regard that change in functionality as a regression.  Tools->Screenshot dialog needs a rethink in any case.

Indeed - see Bug #1598

Works for me, both from the "Scriptables II" menu and AUD-DO.
Resolved Fixed.
