Description Joachim Mairböck 2013-11-12 12:31:25 UTC 
When trying to take a "section of a window" screenshot from a non-maximized window, the resulting screenshots have an offset down and to the right, which is equivalent to the window position (i.e. the offset of the window from the upper-left screen corner).

For maximized windows, this offset is 0, so the result is correct.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open an application to take a screenshot from, which allows selection of "sections" (e.g. a Windows Forms application), make sure it is not maximized
2. Choose "Section of a window" in KSnapshot
3. Take a screen shot
Actual Results:  
The screenshot area is shifted to the right and the bottom and shows the wrong area of the screen.

Expected Results:  
The correct screen area is captured.

Non-maximized windows cannot be moved above the top screen edge on Windows, and a maximized title bar is smaller than a non-maximized one (on Windows 7), so all non-maximized windows have always a non-zero offset.

Ah, maybe that was the reason KSnapshot was not built previously for Windows... But I guess since the basic snapshot works, it makes no sense to disable it again.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years and I will be closing this bug. Spectacle is the replacement for ksnapshot now. Please test again and file a new bug for Spectacle if you still have issues. Thank you!
