Create/Screen Shot/Grab whole screen (Windows 10): only grabs screen from first monitor
Last modified: 2018-02-24 17:34:12 UTC
Please describe the problem: Using GIMP 2.8.18 on Windows 10 The "File => Create => Screenshot... => Grab the Whole Screen" function only grabs my laptop's screen; an external monitor's screen is not captured, even if Gimp's window is on that monitor. Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch GIMP 2.8.18 on Windows 10 2. Click on File > Create > Screen Shot 3. Select "Grab the whole screen". 4. Click "Grab" Actual results: Screenshot of laptop screen Expected results: Screenshot of all screens Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Not sure if it's working in other versions, but couldn't find a bug report about it (any status). Maybe WinSnap.exe is to blame?
Fixed by a contributor working on bug 793722: commit 653798146e9ab5b0f8455edd4573d1c70d45bb0f (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD) Author: Simon Mueller <s.mueller.hn@web.de> Date: Sat Feb 24 17:23:05 2018 +0100 Bug 789728 - Screenshot whole screen (Windows 10) only grabs screen... ... from first monitor While researching the cause for the missing window contents (bug 793722), I noticed that the full screen capture mode was also not working as expected. No matter how many monitors were connected, it only ever captured the contents of the main monitor. This patch adjusts the source rectangle for the BitBlt copy operation so that multiple monitors are captured correctly.
