Describe the bug
Window Capture doesn't work for Chrome or Windows Explorer, Green shoot captures the entire desktop monitor, ignores my other monitors though.

To Reproduce
Example steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Press Alt + Prnt screen (I customized the shortcut)
  2. Move mouse cursor over Google Chrome Webpage or Windows Explorer
  3. Click on the Windows Explorer or Google Chrome

Expected behavior
Greenshot was supposed to capture a small window of the app I hovered my mouse over, but Greenshot captures my entire monitor 1, not monitor 2 or monitor 3 though. It thinks monitor 1 is the entire window. I know I am in window capture mode since it displays the hieght and width pixels as I move my mose over different elements and Greenshot snaps into place to capture the menu bar, Microsoft Sticky Notes, and Windows Gadgets perfectly.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • Greenshot version 1.2.10 Build 6
  • Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Additional context

I too am using Windows 10 with Greenshot 1.2.10 Build 6 and am having issues using the Capture Window function. It used to work perfectly when I was still using Windows 8.1, but now it seems to only want to capture the currently hovered monitor or taskbar. I wonder if this is also a bug in Windows 11..?
