Issue with Greenshot screen capture software and PowerToys

[PitbullRaven]

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17763.1039]
PowerToys version: 0.18.2
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable):
Unsure

Steps to reproduce

Video available at https://youtu.be/tnYiMYnK3_I

When both PowerToys and Greenshot are installed, triggering Greenshot screen capture causes the entire screen to "shift" right. You can still see the original image to the left, with what appears to be a completely new screen overlayed and shifted to the right. If you mouse off to the left, it almost seems as if the mouse stops interacting with the "virtual" overlaid screen. You will also notice there is a mismatch between mouse position and Greenshot crosshairs.

Expected behavior

As per video, expect the screen to not shift. This is only possible if I exit powerToys. When I restart PowerToys the first capture works fine. Then the second capture causes the issue to resurface.

Actual behavior

The screen is shifting whenever I try to screen grab anything.

hi @PitbullRaven, thanks for the issue and video! I downloaded Greenshot and tried to repro this and couldn't. Is this happening every time (after the first capture works)?

[PitbullRaven]

Yes. Every single time.

@PitbullRaven
do you use a shortcut key to start Greenshot ?
Can you try to turn OFF just FancyZones instead of quitting PowerToys and verify if the problem still occurs?

[PitbullRaven]

Enrico, you are correct. On both counts. I use Fn+Print Screen to trigger the screen capture. And when I toggle FancyZones off, it works. As soon as I turn FancyZones on, it fails again. Best regards Pitbull Raven

@PitbullRaven
in the video you posted, it looks like a new copy of Word is created, I guess that is not actually what happens. As soon as you close the capturing tool, things go back to normal right?

[PitbullRaven]

Exactly. It seems to create a capture of the screen and superimposed it onto the real image, then shifts right. After capture, everything is peaches.
