Flameshot Version

Flameshot v12.1.0 (96c2c82e)

Installation Type

Linux, MacOS, or Windows Package manager (apt, pacman, eopkg, choco, brew, ...)

Operating System type and version

Windows 11 2303

Description

We have a lot changes in the Setup with the Screens. The Day start with the Screen from the Surface alone (so the OS Boot with a single Screen), then you go to the Homeoffice with 1 External Screen, later to the Office with 2 External Screens and in the Meeting room you make miracast to another Screen. Everytime you change the Setup from the Screens Flameshot needs a restart to work properly - thats realy sad for the User Experience of this cool product!!!

Steps to reproduce

run Flameshot at your Device with no Connection to another Screen. Flameshot works Than Change to ad Docking Station with 2 External Screens Flameshot does not work on the External Screens

Screenshots or screen recordings

The Case is clear without Screenshots.

System Information
