dcoaster Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I believe I found a bug with the Snipping Tool. Try using the Snipping Tool to snap a maximized window. Start>Snipping Tool>New>Window Snip. It also includes the upper part of the taskbar in the screenshot. It seems like the tool wasn't adjusted for the different height of Windows 7's new taskbar. Anyone else see this?

User6060 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 take a screenshot so we can report the bug (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buendia Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yeah, I see it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 That's not a bug with the snipping tool more a bug with window sizes when maximised. The API returns a rectangle that is bigger than the window and so overlaps the taskbar at the bottom and to the left/right if you have a second monitor there.

strelok1911 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Present in 7100 too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I can confirm the bug in 7127. If you use Window Snip for a not-maximised window, it works fine, but with a maximised window, it cuts of a bit of the taskbar :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timster Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 it's like than in 7100 too. wonder if it was in any builds close to the RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhangm Supervisor Posted May 21, 2009 Supervisor Share Posted May 21, 2009 Another weird thing about the snipping tool: in the preview window of what you just captured, scrolling seems to work differently than in other windows. The window's actual scroll controls work perfectly, but my touchpad's scroll areas don't. The scrollbars themselves move when I use my touchpad's scroll areas, but the viewing area does not change until I click inside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee31 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It seems to take longer to capture whatever it is we want to capture as well. Before the RC when I clicked on the area I'm attempting to capture it would do it instantly now however there is a 10 second or so delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcoaster Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I don't have the delay, but I do have the border issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Its not doing it in 7127 for me. I have the taskbar at the top though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyang Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 I think the desktop area extends a little bit under the taskbar. A selection box has this little blue border. When I drag a selection box to the bottom of the desktop, and the bottom line goes under the taskbar a bit. Not sure if that was clear, I'll post a screenshot to clarify if needed.

Mike Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 dcoaster: Read my post (#4), if you have a second monitor to the left/right you'll see it also extends the selection rectangle onto the second monitor slightly. This is what the API gives the snipping tool (and any other app that uses the standard API to find a window's size) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Its not doing it in 7127 for me. I have the taskbar at the top though. I also have it at the top, and it *does* do that for me - there's a small stripe of the taskbar on top of the maximised window :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
