Description P Fudd 2017-10-31 18:24:42 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?

    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.
