Capture delay ignored for "Select Area" #163

Open timur-tabi opened 2 years ago

timur-tabi commented 2 years ago

I need to select an area of the screen after clicking on a menu (the drop-down for another extension). I set the delay for 3s, but as soon as I press Super+F11, the crosshairs appear and if I click on anything, I get an error message that the selection area is too small. The same applies if I select "Select Area" from the drop-down menu.

What I need is for the crosshairs to appear after three seconds, which gives me enough time to set up my desktop. Then I can select the area without making anything change.

is this still an issue with the most recent version?

I don't get the error message any more, but I still need the delay behavior to change. I'd like the tool to delay 3 seconds and then show the cross hairs. Right now, it shows the cross hairs, lets me select an area, and then waits 3 seconds. This means I need to know what area to select before I have actually prepared the screen, so I'm basically guessing at what area needs to be selected.
