Area(s) with issue?

FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

Create zones on extended monitor (mine: 1 row x 3 columns) Enable option 'move newly created windows to current active monitor (experimental). Open excel in full screen on extended monitor Use greenshot to capture part of excel spreadsheet

✔️ Expected Behavior

Capture the selected portion of the screen

❌ Actual Behavior

When activating greenshot, the excel spreadsheet on the extended monitor shifted down approximately one title bar. The captured image did not include the correct area but was missing about one title bar worth of rows in the spreadsheet. (I could not compensate for the shift. Meaning, if I started my selection one row higher, I did not get expected screen capture, either)

Hi @bwaldie, I'm investigating the issue. As a workaround, you can exclude "Greenshot capture form" in the FancyZones settings so FancyZones won't move it.

Thank you so much for this! I didn't realize this was due to FancyZones and I just so happened to search on a hunch as it has been bugging me for MONTHS.

This work around worked for me! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
